Kirschbaum","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal Item. Only One Available. This is an outstanding unit-marked example of the Bavarian M1813 Artillery Saber. The 1813 model was carried first by Hussar units during the Napoleonic Wars and later given to artillery and ammo regiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is stamped on the ricasso:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW.R.

A.F. 7.10. This would denote the 3rd Regiment of Foot Artillery, 7th Battery, 10th Man. These same stamped markings can be found on the throat of the scabbard, making this a great matching unit-marked set. However, they were not always together, as each has a serial number, 2996 on the sword, and 1122 on the scabbard. So these saw use before being unit-marked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade measures 29 ⅜” and is in great shape with a still-bright finish. The overall length is 35 ¼”. The blade has been sharpened a bit. The leather of the grip is in great shape with some wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scabbard measures 31 ½” and shows moderate wear with minor denting. The suspension ring is retained and in good shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very scarce Bavarian saber, ready for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade length: 29 3\/8”\u003cbr\u003eOverall length: 35 1\/4”\u003cbr\u003eScabbard length: 31 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45086865719365,"sku":"ONJR26MYAS038","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/89FE19AC-ECA8-4BD2-BED3-8E02F1B07F9D.jpg?v=1780348537","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwi-unit-marked-bavarian-m1813-artillery-blucher-pattern-saber-with-matching-unit-marked-scabbard-by-w-r-kirschbaum","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
