A very rare and highly collectable SS Officers early nickel sword in basically uncleaned condition. This is the classic, early, nickel SS Officers sword in untouched condition, though has been looked after in the sense of being in a hallway that was a constant environment. The sword has a nice patina and overall feel of quality complimented by an equally rare sword knot in beautiful condition. Grip has no damage other than the wear of time, SS runes are perfectly fixed and have never been tampered with, though has lost most of the background black definition behind the SS runes, which is not unusual ~ it is nice to see nobody has tried to reblack the background. Grip wire is unbroken and in fine condition. All fittings to the hilt, handguard etc are solid nickel as expected. There is the stamped small SS rune mark underneath the crossguard and on the top throat of the scabbard fitting. Scabbard is in excellent condition with only minor paint flakes/chips, again the norm with scabbards of this age, the upper and lower scabbard fittings are nickel plated steel as expected. Blade is basically unmarked bar a couple of little brownish patches (see photographs) but this does not detract whatsoever. Blade length is 31 inches and the scabbard is 32.5 inches and maker marked with the ‘Horster’ logo. An opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire a rare original and untouched SS Officers sword at an investment price. Original SS Officers swords are considerably rarer than 1936 chained daggers and represent the high point/centre piece of any collection.

A very scarce and sought after Prussian Naval Officers lion head sword, Kirschbaum stamped maker mark which puts manufacture between 1876 and 1883 before the amalgamation with Weyersberg becoming WK&C (Weyersberg-Kirschbaum and Co.) All parts and fittings on the hilt, crossguard and scabbard are in excellent condition with a lovely uniform patina showing some of the original gilt in places. White ivory grip is almost perfect though has a minor flake like chip - that does not detract at all – just under the lion mane, triple brass wire wrapping in perfect seating with only the lower strand of the first wrap slightly unseated and all furniture crisp of detail showing no signs of wear. Folding rear cross-guard works perfectly. Lovely early guard with prominent crown and fouled anchor with no wear at all.

Blade has the galleon, trident and crossed oar, a scarce looped fouled anchor and trophies design with the ‘Eisenhauer’ quality mark, meaning the finest quality material and craftsmanship, at the start of the blade design. Blade length is 29.5 inches. The shine on the photographs are a light protective oil on the blade. Scabbard is in excellent condition, firm black leather with no damage or the usual fold or creasing. Brass scabbard fittings with hanging rings are securely seated and lovely condition, some surface contact wear and patina on the foot. Scabbard length is 31 inches.

A scarce Imperial German Naval Officers lion head sword, maker marked and military fiscal stamp dated ‘W05’ for 1905. Gilted brass hilt with a lions head pommel and the crowned anchor on the guard, which is also stamped on the underside with the acceptance stamp, the crowned anchor is one of the rarer earlier designs with the rope starting behind the anchor cross-bar and crossing the anchor in the middle. The grip is ivory in almost perfect condition though has that most common minor flake like chip – caused by the hilt back putting pressure on to the ivory just under the lion mane - and retains the triple wire binding, though the upper wrapping has one parted wire strand. There is basically no wear to any of the metal parts with plenty of the original gilt wash evident. The pipe-back blade is approx 30 inches in length and is etched with naval themes, the spine is marked with the maker ‘Clement & Yung, Solingen’, blade is marked with the Imperial crown and ‘Erfurt’ denoting the Royal Prussian Artillery Depot in Erfurt, blade has, sadly, some small patches of pitting on both sides of the blade surface ~ the price reflects this fact. Scabbard is in fine to excellent condition, firm black leather with no damage and only a hint of the usual fold/crease. Brass scabbard fittings with hanging rings are well seated though the upper fitting has a little movement, all are in lovely condition with some surface contact wear and patina. Each fitting also has the acceptance stamp cleverly hidden within the design, the sign of a wise acceptance officer who had ‘been around’. Scabbard length is approx 30.6 inches. A lovely Imperial Naval sword with the revenges of time spoiling the blade otherwise this sword would be well over the £1k mark, so a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very nice naval sword at a modest price.
