    Hi again, sorry that I just duck in to ask questions a lot but my sources are often by forthcoming. Today I’m wondering about swords. Did arzt officer carry them in the pre-war/early-war era? Was there a specific pattern or was it just the infantry sword?

    Hello,ViscountnessNiviac . Medical Officers carried sword indeed, The pattern was in Prussia the Model 1889 Degen fur Infanterie Offiziere, It was carried By Doctors, Veterinarians and Administration Officials . In Saxony it was the IOD , Infanterie Offiziere Degen, formerly the 1867 Infanterie Offiziere Degen .In Bavaria the IOS Infanterie Offizier Sabel ,M 1855 . After August of 1915 the Swords or Sabres for Infantry , Doctors etc was not carried more at the Field .instead it was carried a Bayonet with the Swordknot of the Sword or Sabre.
