      Solingen is a German city known for swords and knives. Been around for centuries and they are still around so hard to say.

      I've seen this star on swords & read that it was a non-Jewish manufacture's mark. Just simply their mark. Hope that saves you time in research.

      The triangle has been known/used as a sign of strenth. So to put 2 triangles on the blade Mean's "Its twice as strong" also I have searched the net for "Horstmann" and come up with a few
      swords by this maker - mostly plain Civil War Officers' swords.
      Apparent history from one site states the company was quite large and
      did import sword blades from Solingen Germany, as well as being
      manufacturers of many sorts of military uniforms, acoutrements
      etc. from 1815 to late in the 1900's at the very least. food for though...lol

      I have examined only a couple of swords with the same type of "floral"
      hilt and grip style, and I was told both times they were US Civil War period
      and French in origin.

      It is entirely possible they were like this one but with plain blades or
      severely over-cleaned as there was no maker or engraving on them
