IOD - What is missing here

[Uffz. Rohleder]

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?

Hi,

probably the chiffre of the regiment he served with.

Hello ,what lacks is the crowned W of William II R .

[Uffz. Rohleder]

Thank you very much guys. 

 

How hard would it be to find such a piece? 

[GreyC]

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.

Hello Rollo , Lets the sword stay in her present condition and search about her history.

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
