Hello,
I would like to find out what the regimental abbreviations on this 1811 stand for. I presume this is a Prussian sword, based on the arsenal marks.
Danke!

...the regimental abbreviations...
Hello Dmitry,
B.T. stands for
Brücken-
Train (Bridges Train). The Brückentrain belonged to the pioneers.

Thomas, thank you very much! Do you have an idea about the cross over abbreviation on the scabbard? Looks like the sword was transferred to the Bruckentrain from another unit.
Thanks again!
