Scarce 19th Century Child`s Prussian Model 1852 Sword (Named)

An interesting and scarce Victorian period child`s sword in the form of a Prussian Model 1852 cavalry trooper`s sabel (sabre)
The 21 inch long blade is etched with a VR cypher, foliage, knight with shield, fouled anchor and various other designs but most importantly the young English boys name for whom it was commissioned 'Arthur Thomas Etheridge', un-researched.
The Forte bears the German maker's name Weyersburg, Kirschbaum & Co of Solingen.
The fish skin grip is in good order but the twisted wire binding is missing in places, the steel knuckle guard is in good solid condition with no movement, now with an age related patina.
Originally the blade was plated but now with much loss, rounded tip for safety purposes, scabbard absent.
Please study images as part of condition report.
