Colleagues,

I just wanted to say thanks for all the help I received from the discussions here with my recent aquisition. I was finally able to pick up a sword to go along with my parade uniform shown in the first picture. Since this was my first edged weapon, the information here helped greatly in making my decision. I was approached about this suddenly and didn't want to make a hasty decision.
Apparently, according to the family, this was taken from a prisoner housed somewhere near Berlin.
Hopefully I will find the time soon to post some of my other pieces in the other forums to give back a bit.
Thanks again for a great place to look and learn.
