RARE German Sword Pre WW1 Prussian 1852 Cavalry Troop Saber Wide Stamped Blade

Description: NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!! RARE IMPERIAL GERMAN CAVALRY TROOPER SABER PRUSSIAN MODEL 1852 WITH WIDE MASSIVE EARLIER BLADE (NOT THE LATER 1879 QUILL BACK BLADE) PRE-WW1 , dated 1871 the year of German unification. PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES FOR COMPLETE CONDITION! THIS SWORD IS WELL USED AND HAS A RICH HISTORY, PATINA, PITTING, ETC UNLIKE THE PRETTY PRIVATE PURCHASE CLOSET QUEENS. AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS GERMAN SWORD COLLECTOR. HILT IS TIGHT, BLADE IS STRAIGHT, approx 34.5", APPROX 42" OVERALL SWORD GUARD HAS PITTING BUT OVERALL CLEAN, NO ACTIVE RUST. BLADE IS GOOD CONSIDERING IT'S AGE AND USE. BOWL BASKET GUARD HAS LATER TRAIN MARKINGS (as all earlier cavalry swords still in service after the KD89 was mandated), I CAN'T DECIPHER ORIGINAL STAMPS BECAUSE OF SURFACE PITTING BUT LOOKS LIKE RESERVE HUSSARS OR DRAGOONS. GRIP IS MISSING SOME LEATHER IN SPOTS BUT STILL HANDLES WELL. SCABBARD IS EITHER AUSTRIAN OR WRTTEMBURG WITH HANGING SLOT, NOT RING, BUT FITS PERFECTLY. MARKED 14TH HUSSARS. SOME SMALL DENTS, SEE PICTURES. FINGER LOOP HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY DELETED. There is a faint circle where the original screw was located and ground off. MADE BY WEYERSBERG Solingen DATED W 1871, FRANCO PRUSSIAN WAR PRE- WW1 / 1WK / CIVIL WAR ERA IF YOU HAVE NEVER OWNED ONE OF THESE I GUARANTEE YOUR LIFE AS A SWORD COLLECTOR WILL CHANGE AFTER HOLDING THIS BEAUTY. YOU CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE DINKY TOOTHPICKS BASED ON THESE EARLY SABERS AFTER HANDLING THE ORIGINAL TROOPER OR NCO MODELS. SIDE NOTE: THIS MODEL WAS ALSO SEEN SPORADICALLY IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, AND ONCE A CONTENDER FOR THE M1860 CAVALRY SABER BUT INSTEAD THE US CHOSE TO STICK WITH THE MODIFIED LIGHTER FRENCH STYLE FOR 1860. HOWEVER, THERE IS AN ULTRA RARE CONFEDERATE IMPORT MODEL MADE BY CLAUBERG WHICH HAS THE FRENCH 1822 (US M1840) "WRIST BREAKER" HILT PAIRED WITH THIS 1852 PRUSSIAN BLADE. AFAIK THIS IS NOT SPECIFICALLY DOCUMENTED AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING! SHIPPED FULLY INSURED, YOUR CHOICE OF USPS GROUND or UPS. Please note: eBay/USPS estimated delivery times for large objects are almost always inaccurate, especially this time of year, expect to wait a week or more no matter what they say.
