Offered for sale is a nice condition OD89 Model Prussian Infantry Officer Sword with fixed crossguard.
Nickel scabbard is dent/ding free. There is a bit of wear to the nickel finish on one edge of the scabbard, on the edge with the two hanger rings. Otherwise, the finish is nice. The camera flash makes a distortion on the scabbard and the blade. There is no denting on the blade or scabbard.
Blade has No maker mark.
Finish on the blade is good. There is a bit of oxidation near the top of the blade on the front side. I believe it will clean up. I have left it as I found it a few weeks ago.
The fixed crossguard with Prussian eagle has very nice mercury fire gilting intact.
Grip is in good shape. The tiny twisted wire is missing on one side of the larger wire in a couple of areas. I have tried to show this in my photos.
This sword will make for a nice addition to any collection.
Price: $325 or "Best Offer" Plus Postage
USA Postage: $35 shipped via US Postal Service with Tracking.
Thanks,
Alan
