Gildwiller1918 Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 Here is my newly acquired Enlisted Interim or Dress Prussian Cavalry Sword M1889. It has a folding hand guard and Bakelite grip. There are faint traces of engraving work on the blade but it is too light to capture adequately. The hand guard and metal parts associated with the handle are Nickle plated, the folding hand guard had a crest for the various German states. 6 Quote

Gildwiller1918 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Posted May 28, 2023 Thanks, now to find a decent scabbard, that might be a tough one... 4 Quote
paulchen Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 Make sure you get the right scabbard type. Scabbard has a fixed ring and to the rear, a bar for the Aufhängung. 4 Quote
