Original Austro-Hungarian Pre-WWI Officer’s Sword with Scabbard
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is an exceptional piece of history! It's a rather rare, original Pre to Early World War One era Austrian-Hungarian Officer's Sword. The sword is adorned with a beautifully designed half-basket guard that features gilt finish over brass, adding to its elegance and charm. The guard is still intact, retaining its originality, and is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era.
This sword is truly a sight to behold. The Austro-Hungarian Empire double-headed eagle coat of arms on the guard bowl is a stunning display of craftsmanship. The grip is a gorgeous wire-wrapped sharkskin example, but the wire is now almost entirely gone. The brass-mounted leather-covered metal scabbard is very worn with the leather covering now almost gone. The long locket / throat bears the Royal Monogram of Franz Joseph I of Austria. There is very heavy wear overall but the suspension ring is retained.
The nickel-plated blade is unmarked but retains most of its plating, with some scattered loss across its length.
A Lovely sword, ready for display.
