This was made by WKC for the Deutsche Offizier Verein (DOV) who would resell or present swords. Though it is not marked as such, it has a nice Damascus blade. The guard and pommel are very detailed. Even the reverse side of the Eagle and the inside of the knuckle bow are worked. The inscription on the blade reads..."Ziehe mich nicht ohne Grund. Stecke mich nicht ein ohne Ehre." Which roughly translates to "Don't draw me without reason. Don't sheathe me without honor". This motto appears on swords from all over Europe (translated to the language of the owner's country)
