The Prussian Garde Star insignae (with "SUUM CUIQUE" ) on the Langet denotes a Garde Regiment (Garde du Corps=military guard division) .This is confirmed as Lekebusch was an officer in the "Garde" Train Bataillon. The "TRAIN" Bataillon was in charge of all the logistical supplies . The blade is an "Eisenhauer" Quillback blade and the sword was acquired through "M.NEUMANN HOFLIEFERANT" who were exclusive merchant/ suppliers to royal house . The sword is an German Imperial Army Officers Lion Head sword (if it is a straight blade) or sabre (if the blade is curved).

Staffel 7/44 to 2/45.
