This is a miniature of the sword carried by the “Iron Chancellor,” Otto von Bismarck. If you look closely, you will see his family’s coat-of-arms. The blade is plain. Overall, this sword, which measures 7 1/2″ in length, is in fine condition. This would make a super desk piece. Or as the original owner may have done, you can open letters with it.

This is an NCO’s unissued portépée from Bataillon Nr 1, Kompagnie Nr 3 within an Infanterie, Fuß-Artillerie, or Eisenbahn Regiment, a Pionier-Bataillon, or a Luftschiffer-Abteilung. These portépées were worn on NCO’s bayonets as a sign of their rank. The white strap is doubled over and held in place by white thread. White tassels hang down from the portépée’s yellow-capped acorn, which has a white and yellow handle extending all the way to the strap. It certainly would complete a bayonet display for any of the previously-mentioned units.

BOOK – REFERENCE – IMPERIAL GERMAN EDGED WEAPON AND PRICE GUIDE BY GERHARD WINDBIEL.
This is a useful soft-cover book that deals with Imperial German edged weapons. It has one hundred and fifty pages filled with countless drawings of Imperial German edged weapons. A price guide is included at the back of the book. That said, it is an older book that should be used more for information that for current prices. I often caution collectors about price guides, even those that appear up-to-date. They are, in fact, merely guides or that author’s opinion of an item’s value. Too often market conditions and the state of the particular decoration are not taken into consideration. Some guides are well written and researched. Even so, the market conditions may dictate a different price, either higher or lower.
