This is a miniature Prussian M-1889 IOD sword in fine condition. These were very popular during the period as letter openers. It again can be used for that purpose more than one-hundred-years after this particular miniature sword was produced. The sword is 8 ½” in overall length from the tip of the blade to the hilt. On the guard, we see a highly-detailed Hohenzollern Eagle. Its overall condition is very pleasing.

This is an UNISSUED officer’s portépée for a sword from the Duchy of Braunschweig. It was correct for officers in Infanterie-Regiment Nr 92, Husaren-Regiment Nr 17, and Braunschweig’s single artillery Bataillon. The portépée is in spectacular condition, primarily because it remains how its workshop originally prepared it. It is neatly folded over one time, with yellow thread wrapped around it. The leather is supple and fresh. It sports three rows of golden stitching. The portépée’s acorn is made of brilliant golden bullion, with a blue woven interior. This almost impossible-to-find accouterment is in very fine condition.
It would make a great display. If you have a Braunschweig officer’s sword, it would look fantastic mounted on it.

This is a sword for an NCO from Königliches Sächsen Garde-Reiter-Regiment (1. Schweres Regiment) (GRR). The regiment was founded in 1680. It was garrisoned in the capital of Saxony, Dresden and assigned to the XII. Armeekorps. The sword was used by a Senior NCO or an officer in the GRR. The sword measures 34 1/4″ from the tip of the pommel to the tip of the blade. It also measures 35 1/4″ from end to end of the scabbard. The scabbard displays excellent paint. It has a single ring. The grip is Bakelite®. The guard, which features Saxony’s Coat-of-Arms, folds down.
The exterior has all silver fittings. As we remove the sword from the scabbard, we see that it is hallmarked for WK & C. The blade, which is slightly curved, is double engraved. One side displays Saxony’s Coat-of-Arms. The other side boasts the regiment’s royal cypher, which was seen on their regular service shoulder boards. Their dress shoulder boards carried the Saxon Crown. The blade is thin. It measures 1/2″ wide. The edge of the sword is also engraved for a sword firm in Leipzig. It is my guess that while WK & C produced the blade, the firm in Leipzig did the engraving. The blade is in very fine condition, overall. It has a portion of the buffer that protects the blade from the scabbard’s mouth. It is a superb sword from a very elite regiment.
