Uffz. Rohleder Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hello all, I found this Lionhead Sword as young boy in a river. I never got behind those markings. Maybe someone can enlighten me. Just above the monogram Looks like 33.A.5.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trajan Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Happy to help! I wonder if this was a requistioned example, given how highly decorated it is and the monogram - it went from private to state service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffz. Rohleder Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 I tried to find a photo of those Metallsammlungen. But I never saw one with swords. Maybe it was requisitioned as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uffz. Rohleder Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks, that's what I thought to. Still the unit stamp seems a little of but as Trajan said maybe it was requisitioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Servitore ! A bit more about the sabre. on the blade is engraved an eagle , the imperial eagle , the imperial crown over. well , Alsace and Lorena were not part of Prussia , were Imperial territories with a somewhat special status.
