Prussian or German Military Cavalry Sword with Scabbard
c. 19th to Early 20th Century, Prussian / German Military Cavalry Sword with Scabbard, Fine.
This Prussian / German Military Cavalry Sword has a 34.25" slightly curved single edge, pipe back with an approximate 13" double-edge spear point to the tip of the blade. The blade has some very minor areas of light pitting and staining. The ricasso is marked, "F. A. HERME, SOLINGEN" and has military inspectors mark a "CROWN" over "W" over "85". The steel hilt / guard is very similar to the English Pattern 1796 (copied by other countries and used up through World War I). Hard rubber grip. The original steel scabbard has been cleaned and has some dents. Overall a nice sword.
