Thank you cptbob, you have answered a question that has been in the back of my mind for a while. I have dress versions of Prussia, Wurtemburg and Saxony and have been wondering why the Saxon has a curved blade and the other two are straight. I now need to adjust my documentation to reflect a...

...and those swords are not too shabby either!!! Very, very nice all around. (y) Lance

Here's my model 1858 with the leopard skin. Yes it's been made into a lamp but it was priced as a lamp, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it. Lance

Thank you for your replies. I too hope that someone can explain this eventually as I did buy the one in the auction and am now awaiting its arrival. Was looking for my first KP and I bought that one as I assumed that Jagers were quite scarce. Won't buy another one without a date but won't...

Do we know why a few of the Jager badges have no date on the skull? I see one here on the far right. Thanks, Lance
