Typically, these have gold-colored handles and curved blades, but they were available in silver. This one was made by WKC. The blade is not terribly fancy but the detail work in the handle and guard is impressive. Sold by a vendor in Hannover...maybe it was carried by an officer of the 13th...

I've been looking for a LGH parade fangschnur for about 7 years, so I was ecstatic to see one pop up on Age of Kings a few weeks ago (many Thanks Randy and Remy). A week later they had a nice attila and mutze combo. I'll have to start looking for a sabertache and white leather crossbelt...

From the bottom up (or left to right). The 1817 French form. Carried by the GdC and Regiments 1, 3 and 7. The 1819 Russian form. Carried by the GKR and Regiments 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. The 1854. Captured from the French in 1870/71 they were adopted in 1876. In 1896 the blades were shortened...

Officers from the states of Baden and Hesse were authorized to carry a saber modelled after the Austrian cavalry officer's saber. It had a large guard with a pierced scrollwork pattern. There are a couple minor differences between these and the Austrian version. The Baden/Hesse version had 2...

The Bavarian variant of the Prussian KD89. This one was rusted badly at one time and cleaned up. Prussian examples pop up fairly frequently but examples from the other states are hard to find. Still looking for examples from Wurttemberg, Hesse and Mecklenburg.

Because of the lack of stichblatt, I think the back plate may be a captured French piece. It is a bit smaller than the front plate so not a matched set. On the left side there are some markings. What looks like 4 capital I’s and what looks like AP. Unit marked GKR 3 E on the skirt. Both...

Prussian kurassier regiments were armed with 2 types of pallasches prior to the introduction of the model 1854. The 1817 French form and the 1819 Russian form. This is one of the former. Made by Schnitzler and Kirschbaum (S&K) and accepted into service in 1856, it was issued to the Leib...

I've been resisting the urge to pick one of these up and finally gave in to temptation. Guess I'll need to get an attila now.

This is a special saber that officers of the 1st Dragoon Regiment were authorized to carry. Very similar to the 1852 cavalry officer's saber, it also includes a large nickel silver dragoon eagle screwed onto the guard. This particular saber is pictured in Herr and Nguyen "The German Cavalry"...

I'm curious what the experts think about this. Is this a period wappen? Or a cheap fake with a faint aroma of curry about it? It appears to have once had a landwehr cross on it, and the holes were plugged. The plugs appear to be made from the same material and are textured to blend in with...

This style of pallasch was carried by the GKR and Regiments 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. This one is covered in acceptance stamps, but sadly no unit marks. Accepted into service in 1853, it remains in good shape.

This seems to have been at least partially restored. The shell, spike, liner and chinscales look OK to me, though in pretty rough shape. The wappen and the cockade I have doubts about. Not sure what to make of the wappen. In addition to the poor quality (especially around the eagle's head...

Unfortunately, the surface is scarred up, but the wappen and ringkragen are visible.

The 1st JzP was given the designation Koenigs Jaeger zu Pferd and allowed to wear the Royal Cypher in 1905. This is the badge for a cartridge case for a member of this Regiment

This is a pretty cool pistol using the Werder breech-loading mechanism. It was nicknamed "lightning" because it could be reloaded quickly. This was one of the original issues and has a nice low serial number (150) and was issued to the 1st Bavarian Curassier Regiment 2nd Squadron. The marking...

This is a very high-end lion head saber for an Uhlan officer. It was made by WKC and sold by the vendor F Noe and Schulze in Coblenz. The detail work in the handle is impressive. The langet are big and very well done. On one side is the crossed sabers and lances associated with the Uhlans...

I'm also looking for a set of 4 domed screws that would be appropriate for securing a Jzp or Kurasier spike to the helmet shell. Color silver. Thanks!

I'm looking for a pair of M91 Cavalry posts if anyone has a couple extra (or knows where they might be found). The type with the rounded points. Thanks!

I recently got several Knottel prints, mostly of early Hannoverian units. This one was interesting because I have a document for a member of one of these Regiments in this period
