Ah, okay. The merger occurred in 1883, so the mark before that belonged to the Weyersburg family. Thanks for the correction. I'll put that in the review. And continued to belong to the Weyersburg family after the merger.

Yes, 82 cm blade. I'll let you know how I like the grip once I have cut with it. EDIT: Does that review state that the M1826 saber weighs 1.097 kg? If so, that is a much heavier sword than this Bavarian 1813 Hussar saber. I'll expand on this more in my review, but I think the M1813 grip is meant to be used with a saber grip (thumb on backstrap) rather than a hammer grip. You have a shortened blade then, as ordered per 1911. Yes, the M1826 weighs 1.097 kg, but the blade is full length still. The point of my remarks on the handling of the M1826 is that whatever grip one uses, hammer or open grip, the straight grip of the M1826 sucks, because there is no bulge in the middle. For a good sabre both grip styles should be equally comfortable and easy to switch. The M1826 does not deliver, whether one wears gauntlets or not.
