This sword, with a double fullered 75cm blade, would have been carried by the army and Bavarian police prior to the uniform changes of 1936, when the new Third Reich police design was introduced, also having a straight blade, but with the Police Reichsadler incorporated into the grip. This early model was based on a Bavarian cuirassier sword.

Nice example of a standard knot for this state. Red and gold are the state colours of Baden (no other major German state in the Imperial era had red and gold). This knot would have been worn by officers in all branches of the army and, later, in the Weimar period, also possibly by the Baden Police, since the colours remained the same.
