ITEM : SW210 - UNKNOWN Wurtemburg
Artillery Officers Sword
Brass "P" shaped plain
hilt. Single langet showing pinned Artillery motif, no scabbard
and includes original knot. Blade shows heavy patina and no sign
of cleaning...ever, also traces of possible engraving.
Believed to be from Franco - Prussian war period 1870-1871,
although I am open to discussion!. The wood to the grip has
shrunk over years along with the sharkskin covering and the
knuckle guard is deformed. An early sword that has seen it all.
