Closed, sorry!

This one no scabbard. Both are really solid and tight, no jigling at all.

This is the one with scabbard and portepee, other does not.

And the other.

Selling 2 swords, first pictures are of cavalry sword stamped 1914 (including portepee and scabbard) and the other is a M89 stamped unit 2.J.R.P. PM if interested, they're going up for auction in under 5 hours.

Would this be accurate...? http://www.ebay.com/itm/391033384678?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I think it's right...

Take it to a copy place and get a superfine scan of it and blow it up to a real poster size, clean it up with a border and sell the digital copy of it so we can get it printed for our walls (:

So beautiful!

Ron, not sure, really. It feels like it was shiny before rust and neglect set in. I have taken off the mount for the spike on top and the shell was shiny underneath, yet again i don't know the process of how it was made. ANYWAYS, used a mixture about 40/60 stripper and water with a scrubber...

Used a rust remover product for the insides and the surface rust on the outer shell with a soft toothbrush, got much rust off. Spike was very stuck (due to rusted interior and wrong spire int he first place.) Began dealing with the silver paint on it, which got some patina on its own over time...

When the wife accepts the package at home while you are at work… I made my last purchase for a while also last week ):

I've had an uhlan's lance favorited on ebay for about 2 years now, owner can't sell it, I guess. They offered to chop it in half :( to be able to ship it otherwise local pickup...

89 to be certain. This and Wurttemberg have been the hardest to find...
