Title Prussian artillery sabre, 1854 pattern
Nationality German
Period 1905
Sold

This sabre has a leather grip and iron guard marked '4.AF.2.4', medium dark patinated. The blade is dated 1905 and the edge has evidently been ground on a grindstone for field service. The scabbard has been polished (probably wire mopped) and has scattered medium pitting throughout the surface. A reasonable example of its type.

Just to let you know that the bayonet arrived safely this morning by Royal Mail. I am delighted with it and it will be put to very good use at some forthcoming events.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
