An Austrian hunting sword with a 28.75-inch blade, inscribed Josef Prohasha 1896. The listing gives the blade length and the inscription and nothing further, so the photographs are the guide to the hilt, the fittings and the overall condition. It is cataloged under other swords as SKU SW141, used.

Hunting swords of this type are collector pieces, and this one suits a New Jersey buyer who collects European edged weapons or Austrian hunting items in particular. The dated inscription is the point of interest: it ties the blade to a name and a year, which is the kind of detail a display piece benefits from. At nearly 29 inches of blade it needs a proper wall mount or a long case rather than a drawer. Ask for additional photos if you need details on the grip, guard or scabbard before you commit.
