Cuban Spanish German saber sabre Toledo Eickhorn INDEPENDENCIA

Description

This is a very interesting dress saber of classical German style and design, bearing Carl Eickhorn's back to back squirrels logo on the left side's ricasso but also bearing profuse engraving on 50% of both sides of the blade and "FABRICA DE TOLEDO" on the right side plus "INDEPENDENCIA" on the left side; This is classical Toledo engraving; I assume the piece was purchased as a plain standard Eickhorn product and then sent to the Toledo Factory for its engraving and embellishment by uncertain party or parties, although judging from its "INDEPENDENCIA" marking we can safely assume a Spanish American country or citizen or Army specifically an officer of  the Cuban Ejercito Nacional or Guardia Rural; Mexico would be another possibility but I believe Cuba is more likely; Please see A.M.de Quesada's book :Eickhorn Edged Weapons Exports" Vol. I Latin America page 45 illustration 1117 documenting a similar specimen with Toledo markings;  Probably early 20th Century, 1910's or 1920's ; No scabbard but any standard German scabbard of this type should fit it; Please see the last photograph included showing some of the very rare Spanish items I am currently selling as I close my life long collection of Spanish weaponry; S&H VIA USPS PRIORITY WILL ADD .00 TO THE PURCHASE PRICE; NO INTERNATIONAL SALE ON THIS ITEM WITH MY APOLOGIES; SALE LIMITED TO THE CONTINENTAL USA ONLY;  Payment as arranged per eBay ; Feedback at the end of a hopefully mutually satisfactory transaction;  PLEASE BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN OF YOUR DECISION TO BUT BEFORE DOING SO IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY UNNECESSARY DISAPPOINTMENTS, INCIDENTS, OR RETURNS;  THANK YOU.
