Had this sword a while just never got round to researching it a bit more.

So any information would be a bonus.

Date / Type / Model / Purpose / Scarcity / Value ?

What i do know :

Damascus Pipeback.
Shark / Rayskin Grip.
Nickle plated fittings.
Crest SAXON Province Memor. ??
Other Crest King Albert. ??
Maker WK & C.
Distributer - W.Gunther. Dresden North ??

I'm sure the scabbard is not original to this piece as i just doesn't fit properly, where could i obtain one ?

Thanks in Advance

What you have is a Saxon Artillery Officers Basket Hilt Sword. And a vary nice one at that.

I forgot to mention the correct scaber for this sword would be a double ringed nickel plated scaber.
