happy new year!
i believe this is the M1845 Saxon Faschinenmesser. could someone please help with the Regimental markings?
they read 48. G.B.H. 174.
interestingly enough, by searching the web i found out that this same sword was sold unidentified in August of 2016,
would be nice to know at...
well done! how do you get the needle to penetrate dried/hard epoxy? also, what kind of black thread do you use, anything special or just ordinary sewing thread? the devil is in the details... thank you
thank you. yes, it is an M95 with the wings and legs cut, my mistake. i believe that's the way the loops were soldered on, perhaps with the purpose of having the wappen stay secured to the haube in addition to the leather tabs in loops. it makes for a tighter fit. just a little German...
