The shorter quillion often earmarks such as German/Prussian made swords. There was an evolution of the 1811 Blucher cavalry swords to the artillery model in the 1830s and again later in the 19th century (1870s?). Those later swords generally marked though, including a Kaiser imperial stamp on the spine and unit, as well as weapon marks on the hilts and scabbards. The general form though sold worldwide and often with no indications of manufacture or country that may have used it. Again, a shorter qullion would point to Germany. My brass British example marked to a New York importer Cheers GC

Looks like an M1811 LC of some kind. Later model. The scabbard drag is Blucher style for sure. Cannot make out the stamp on the blade other then it is Crown over ? Could be a late variant, but I am not sure. Need a better picture of the blade stamp. Try Deutsche Blankwaffen Forum: www.deutsches-blankwaffenforum.de/board.php?id=171&s=ea2cd9fc5e3be0dd4d6a2c6c771832be . Run the link you find there through Google translate. Also Zietenhusaren: www.zietenhusar.wg.am/blankwaffen/ Look for Blucher in the left collumn. That blade stamp is important. Tells us its not Prussian, at least not regulated Prussian. Those, like Edelweiss says, were marked in a different way. On the spine. Crown-Monarch name letter-date-tax stamp. Early M1811 were marked differently but also always on the spine. The hilt IS in the Prussian style though. Not Saxon, nor Bavarian. Could be an export model to Argentina (The crown would not fit though?) or maybe Spain. One thing is quite sure in my view, Prussian sabres were never stamped in this way as shown here. Same for Artillery models. Could also be Danish. They confiscated many German made sabres and rebranded them: sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/50584/schleswig-holstein-mounted-artillery-sabre . You see where this goes. Humongous flailing all over the place. A better image of that blade stamp is crucial to say the least. Cheers.
