Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Quite possibly one of the finest examples of an Imperial German Officer’s Sword we have ever had the pleasure of offering! This is a wonderful condition example of an Imperial German Model 1889 Infantry Officer sword and scabbard.
The hilt is a gilded brass “D” shape guard with the Imperial German eagle of Kaiser Wilhelm II cypher emblazoned on the grip. The Imperial Eagle portion of the guard folds in or out, depending if needed or not. The hilt overall is stunning with a gold wash on the hilt and cypher. The grip is wrapped in brass wire, bound over black celluloid. The grip and brass wire wrap are in great, tight condition. In addition, the original leather forefinger loop on the inside of the guard is missing. A brown leather washer is fitted to the blade where it meets the guard.
The nickel-plated straight blade is in excellent condition and has a double fuller on each side. The blade is 31 ¾” inches from the spear point to the hilt. The blade is devoid of any damage, only very minor superfluous scratches from years in storage.
The black painted scabbard has a single hanging ring. Surprisingly, the scabbard retains most of its original black painted finish.
An excellent condition sword Ready for display!
