IMHO this is not an original sword, it is assembled from different parts in Southeast Asia. Best regards, Yuri. |

Nice IOD89 Ed, they’re a pretty solid sword IMO. More interesting than what follows into the WWII era.
I’m not sure if you know, most of these can be disassembled by unscrewing the pommel. Here’s one I got my brother for his birthday: |

Not inclined to polish it. Thoughts?

I recently purchased one of the blacked out ones, which I understand to be a wartime variant made once brass became scarce. I collect Imperial German ribbon and medal bars, and to a lesser extent firearms from the era. This is my first foray into swords of this type, and I'm also looking around for a cavalry type to complement a Luger marked to a Hussar regiment.
(It's been sitting at a postal distribution center in Georgia for a week and a half, after sitting in Kentucky for a week. Hopefully it gets here.) |
