C1880 Etched Regimentally Marked Imperial German NCO Sabre and Scabbard by Weyersburg Kirschbaum & Cie . ED 2165. - ED 2165 This model sword was also used after WWI, in both Weimar and Nazi Germany; it is a smaller dress sword that was obviously modelled on the German 1848 sabre. Many of these swords have their maker’s marks hidden under the langets as this example does; under a light a kings head and knight’s head over WK & C can be made out, that was the mark used after Weyersburg (King’s Head logo) merged with Kirschbaum & Cie (Knights Head Logo) in 1883. The single fullered 31 ¼ inch blade features etched military trophies and floral motif half way up the sword and more floral etching half way up the spine. The style of etching is consistent with imperial era blades. The hilt is constructed of silver coloured, possibly nickel-plated steel. The grip is triple wire wrapped shagreen (Fish skin). One of the langets has the regiment mark ‘S.Kö.I.1.’ etched to it as does the locket on the scabbard. The blade has some staining consistent with age. The scabbard has a large silver coloured, possibly nickel-plated steel locket, chape and hanger. The metalwork and leather are in very good condition. The leather stitching is fully intact. See page 202 of ‘The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Swords and Sabres’ by Harvey J S Withers. The price includes UK delivery. ED 2165. £575.00 |
