I pick this sword up in a trade (with-out a scabbard) ,and would like to get some help to ID it. It appears to be an older combat German style sword with a dove type grip and guard. There are no langet and the ricasso is marked with a star over a W in shield. The grip and the quillon is marked with a royal cypher (crown over?). The blade is 30” and 1 ¼ “wide at the ricasso,the blade also have a odd grove near the middle of the blade top. It appears to be a re-issues (with two set of regimentally marking) .
