Uffz. Rohleder Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hello all, This is an Infanterie Offiziers Degen from my Family. At some point in history someone took of a emblem frome the handle (I hope it's the right word) Does anyone know know what's missing there?

GreyC Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hi, probably the chiffre of the regiment he served with. See: https://www.feldgrau-forum.com/threads/infanterie-offiziers-degen-n-m-i-o-d-1889-kriegsfertigung.33454/ GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uffz. Rohleder Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thank you very much guys. How hard would it be to find such a piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi, my link gives the reason why it might be missing. Entnobilitiert means it was stripped of the imperial chiffre because it was used in the Reichswehr. If you find any markings on it, specialists may confirm that.

Uffz. Rohleder Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 That's true. And it looks like the Chiffre was missing since long time I would go with Reichswehr story. I have a photo of my great great uncle Otto with this IOD. If you want I can post ist when I'm back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
