Very likely Army officer. Very nice sword! Voos examples are always desirable. As to rarity, I would say scarce.. Mike

I would say it is Heer (Army officer) The portepee or knott looks like Army..

You should always keep them together, don't sell them separately. Also, if I were you, I would put together as much information as I could about the Major that owned these items. Do you think there may be other items available belonging to this person? Congratulations on your find! Mike

The early examples were usually gilded brass.. Emil Voos is known for lots of hand enhancing to the many details of their hilts. I'm sure everybody would like to see a couple images of the sword and dagger together. Mike

If I'm wrong, a moderator will let us know.. Mike

I had a dovehead with the identical style crossguard Eagle. The blade on the piece was marked Emil Voos.
