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

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.

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. Tony
