Fritz Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Two examples of a Prussian Kavallerie-Degen M.1889. One example is an ordonnance piece, dated with a W and crown over 91, being 1891. This weapon was manufactured by Lüneschloss in Solingen. The fittings are all in iron. The guard bears the Prussian heraldic eagle clutching Sword and Orb, the breast has a shield in the colours of the House of Hohenzollern. The grip is in one piece of "Hartgummi" with two rivets straight through, which is the correct configuration of ordonnance weapons. The blade is the regulation so-called "SteckrückenKlinge mit Schör", which is mainly only seen on ordonnance types. The scabbard still has the two suspension rings as before 1908, but already the regulation blackened finish, in this case renewed. The back of the handguard is stamped: 12 D.4.111, being Brandenburgisches Dragoner-Regt.12, 4.Eskadron, Weapon No.111. The other weapon is a presentation weapon, in this case, an example of an ordonnance type, which has been fitted with a souvenir blade bearing the inscription attributed to Schleswig-Holsteinisches Husaren-Regiment No.16, with engraved and blued panels and contrasting gothic script, the rest of the blade in nickel plating. The reverse of the blade shows the usual cavalry charge scenes. This came in an ordonnance scabbard of the type for the Infanterie-Offiziersdegen M.89, not quite correct but fitting. The blade is signed W.K.& Co. with a double logo of a knight's head and a crowned king's head. The tip of the blade has been filed round during the occupation period and comes from an old collection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 No. But you can find these in Militaria markets, auctions, online etc. This piece was purchased by an antiques dealer in Braunschweig from America, that was well over 40 years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 You may be lucky to find another from this regiment. There are quite a few big militaria businesses in Germany and elsewhere, and especially in Hamburg, with a large stock and turnover, you can also send them your search lists and they will inform you if they find something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
