A bit OT...need a help on unit marking on sword.

[fireman]

I'm looking at a Prussian ''Blucher'' model saber. Usually I can figure out unit markings but I cannot on this one.


35.A.5.33 Pretty sure it is 5th squadron 33rd weapon but I'm stumped on 35.A

Thanks for any help.

Should be probably 35.Feld Artillery Regiment, 5.Battery and weapon nr.33

FAR 35 – GenWiki

Andy Thanks!! Makes sense that the A is for artillery. I never would have guess it though.
