Original WWI Prussian M1896 or German Artillery Sword and Scabbard

Description

I picked this up about 8 or 9 years ago at  very good military auction and fully stand behind its authenticity of it being old and marked. I've had two emails saying it could be either German Artillery or Prussian M 1896 Artillery and the markings are for Kaiser Wilhelm II which makes a lot of sense with the markings. Either way it looks to definitely looks to be WWI and it does have a bakelite handle. Unfortunately I haven't had a ton of luck finding  match or getting my camera to focus properly on marking. It is a W with a crown emblem over it and 11 under the W, then another emblem under it i will try to get better picture and edit and certainly add anything I learn along the way. Its heavy and not in prestine condition with the loop on scabbard missing and the handle missing a chunk but it certainly is old and original. It measures 36' overall and the cleaning part I always try to leave for the buyer to decide. I'm going to do Buy It Now at what I think is a very fair price where I can make a little find a good new home and you don't have to bid and watch all week just to be outbid by a buck the last millisecond by someone who didn't even bid all week on it. Thanks for looking I always glad to combine and answer any questions you might have.
