-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful condition Imperial German Model 1889 Infantry Württemberg Officer sword and scabbard. The hilt is a gilded brass D shape fold away guard, and the side of the pommel has the embossed cypher for the leader of Württemberg. The grip is brass wire bound over sharkskin. The wire is in great shape. This model of sword would often have a leather fore finger loop on the inside of the guard, and this example retains the loop!
The nickel plated straight blade is in very good condition and has a double fuller on each side and is 33” from the spear point to the hilt. The nickel plate is retained well but there are areas of heavy wear and loss. Overall length of the sword is 38 7/8”. A buff felt washer is fitted to the blade where it meets the guard.
The steel scabbard has a single hanging ring, as the second fitting was for a hook on the hanger. This fitting is not dented. It has the standard black enamel finish, which has worn off in some areas, and the underlying steel has oxidized. The scabbard is mostly straight without any denting. The throat fitting is now gone.
Overall condition is very good. Ready to display!
