Description

WWI Imperial German Prussian Artillery Officers Sword with Scabbard. Ricasso is marked with the kings head and knights head over "W.K.C." but the langets made it hard to get a pic. The brass guard and grip are tight, the backstrap is a little loose. The sharkskin grip is 95% complete. The twisted wire are mostly complete, one wire broken in one spot. The blade is sharpened (especially on the tip area), a few light nicks, has surface loss spots with light surface rust scattered throughout, and the last 1/8" of the tip is bent. The scabbard is solid with no dents/dings but does have paint loss with light surface rust scattered throughout. Washer is intact. Length of the blade measures 31 5/8" (7/8" wide x 3/16" thick spine), length of the sword is 37 1/16", and in the scabbard it is 39 3/8".
