Imperial Grosser size Lion Head Artillery Officers Sword
Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.
The unmarked plated 31 inch blade on this one looks good with a bit of age towards the hilt. The tip is perfect and the fit is perfect. The blade rates Exc+. It shows surface scratches, a bit of plating loss but no nail catchers. The buffer pad remains. The steel based, black enamel painted scabbard has oxidation age and a dent 10" below the scabbard ring on both sides.Both throat retaining screws remain intact. The brass base gold gilded hilt on this one has age darkening but I have not tried to clean it. It displays a jawless lion head pommel along with decorative leaf motif throughout. The langet shows crossed cannons. The wood based, blue/black ray skin covered grip looks good, remaining 90%+ intact. A single twisted wire wrap remains intact. This one is illustrated in Angolia reference pg 368 and these are attributed to the undress sabre of the Dragoons. Hussars and Uhlans. A decent example!
