I think so , yes. Solutions for guns are good for sabres too, something like that. Also cheap to have a social and working tool in one go. Most Prussian Officers were second sons of poor but noble families, Land Adel, like farmers. Big name and poor as church mice. If there was a way to save a dime it is the swapping the blade solution. Have to go to work now. See you later guys.

My saber blade from Kingdom of Yugoslavia also has a threaded end, but it's a 20th century saber.

Starting mid 1800's some nations started using that threaded tang system for their officer swords (Bavaria, Italy, Prussia) so they could be repaired easily and be interchangeable.
The Prussian degen sword on auction is contemporary to the 1889 IOD which had the same type of threaded tang.
