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.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.

Having had time to have a relax and a good look at the brooch, am very pleased with it, many thanks for sending it on promptly and safely. Will keep an eye on the site.
