Alcoso Lion-head Army Sword

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

Nice early brass based hilt. The plated blade has minor agee and rates Exc+/Exc++. The blade is stamped with Alcoso scales logo below the languet. This one is not illustrated in Angolia reference. Not the 1st time we've found omissions!! It's really time for a rewrite! Real nice details to this. The obverse features a pair of crossed sabers. Why no Third Reich eagle you ask? There is some talk that not all the officers were big Hitler fans. Remember they ere often Prussian high brow types and to be lead by a lowly Austrian Corporal, well, was a lot to swallow. The black enamel dent-free painted scabbard has minor wear. This is a brass based example with some wear but exhibits much of the original fire-gilt. The top of the hilt expertly covers the tang with hand enhanced detail to the lion's hair. The head again is hand enhanced with inset evil looking glass eyes. The oak leaf and acorn motif is continued everywhere including the ferrule and back-strap. The grip is black celluloid and is in perfect shape without chips or cracks. It is wrapped with triple brass wire. Good early sword.
