Hi Eric,
sorry, the tip has not been made in this way - this is definetly a rework.
And I am nearly sure that this is real damascus steel. The words "Damaststahl" and "Eisenhauer" are perfect proofmarks for this. No imperial blade with a damascus-etching would carry these proofmarks.

What to tell ?
This is a very nice example of a private purchase prussian officers sword.
To be precies: It is an Infanterie-Offiziersdegen n/M or IOD n/M
n/M means New Modell - collectors nowadays would call it a IOD modell 89
This particular one has seen service with an Guards Officer or Senior NCO due to the star on the handle. Line units would have used a royal cypher.
It saw service between 1889 and before 1911 - when the sheet lost the lower ring.
An really nice example with lot of original gilding but the broken off tip could make one cry...

The same medal was used for '14-'18, only with swords instead of sabres on the ribbon. I've been hunting for a pair of the sabres for years.
Hello,
the 14-18 with crossed swords does not look exactly the same. It is not that thick and the ring is fixed in a more common way by soldering. Sorry but I do not find the right words to describe it precisely.

N.B.: If someone wants to get rid of a 1870/71 medal - I would love to reunificate it with its 1914/18 brother...

Okay, here's one of my favorites:
On the original photo you can read the following:
MASCH.-GEW. 08
GEWEHRFABRIK SPANDAU
1910
Also interesting: The use of the armor on the water-jacket and the trench-mount.

Hi Chris,
the colour of the underlay of officers-shoulderboards of war-raised units is a kind of a problem...
In 1914/15 it should have been the Armeekorps colour.
Do you have the two volumes from Kraus "Die feldgraue Uniformierung..."
I do have them at home, so I can't look right now if he has some info about this.
By the way - you lucky guy have a sled-mount !
Would you tell me the maker and the year of production of your MG08 ?
Does the sled has any markings ?
Regards
Torsten

You really need the RJB7 battalion history-- if there ever was one.
...
Hello,
the history of RJB 7 exists.
"Das Reserve-J?ger-Bataillon Nr. 7 im Weltkrieg" by von Ulmenstein, published 1922 - now in my book-shelf...
The major's M/15 bluse is really great !
