VonRader, When you receive it I would be interested in seeing a better image of the cypher. The presentation officer�s sabers were never common, and are much less so now. Your find shows that good items still can and do turn up. Congratulations!!  FP

Got it a few weeks ago! Seller agreed to refund $300 for not describing the dents and one missing glass eye.

Beautiful blade. Would like to see close-up of cypher also. The knot is Hessian and if the regiment is Hessian it would be an even better find. There weren't too many Hessian units.

Von Rader,
Nice sword.
Is the blade marked WKC?
I ask because this sword looks like a dead ringer for the Eickhorn Model #806 if memory serves me right.
