This has been a Saxon infantry sword M 1867 and the monogramm stands for King Albert of Saxony (Albertus Rex). He died in 1902.

This has been in its better days a Saxon infantry sword M 1867. The monogramm "AR" stands for Albert, King of Saxony, +1902. The Eisenhauer"-mark is a sign of quality and durability of the blade - ironcutter should be the exact translation.
