Item Description
Original item: Only One available. This is a textbook example of an upmarket Swiss Model 1899 Officer's Dress sword, with a German-made blade. The sword comes complete with its scabbard. The blade, scabbard, and all of the fittings are fully nickel plated, making this a very attractive dress sword.
The grip is wire wrapped sharkskin shagreen, and in form the sword is quite similar to other officer's swords used around the world at the time. The steel handguard is symmetrical, and somewhat narrower than we see on those from other countries. It is perforated and decorated with floral designs. The scabbard is fairly standard, with a single hanger ring and the rectangular loop on the rear for a belt hook.
The ricasso of the blade is marked with a German makers mark:
E. & F. HORSTER
SOLINGEN
1901
Condition is overall excellent, with just a bit of speckled oxidation on the scabbard and fittings. The blade has not been messed with, and the plating is close to 100%. The leather finger loop is still present and in great condition.
In overall truly great condition, ready to display or add to your collection!
