    Dear all, and most importantly dear Rick (the genious researcher!)

    here is the next challenge from my collection. Again an imperial infantry officer's sword model 1889 (luxury version, damascus blade). But this time presented to a nurse! (yes, you read this correctly!) :speechless1:

    Inscription reads:

    "Ihrem lieben Collegen Kaufmann

    zu seinem 25 j?hrigen Dienstjubil?um 4.10.70 bis 4.10.95"

    And on the reverse:

    "Die Gesellschaft der Lazarethgeh?lfen Berlins"

    So this means presented to our dear colleague Kaufmann to his 25th service jubilee Oct 4, 1870 to Oct 4, 1895, the socienty of the military hospital assistants Berlin.

    Yes, this means the guy was a nurse....and served during the 1870/1871 war already!

    Any chance to find sth out about him?
