Swords of the Totenkopf Regiments

[cptbob]

First up a Lionhead saber for an officer/senior NCO of one of the LeibHusaren Regiments. Distinguished by the applied silver Guard Star and Totenkopf.

Next is HR17. At the top is an HR17 officer's saber, with the gold guard with the crown W in it. With the correct Braunschweig officer's portepee. In the middle is a lionhead saber with the Braunschweig arms on the langet. It was likely carried by a member of the 17th HR. At the bottom is an issued KD89 unit marked to the 17th HR (matching on Guard and scabbard).

Thank you everyone for all the kind words! Yes, woodworking is another hobby of mine. Mostly motivated by making stuff to show off the collection. I love the way they look.
