This is typically a basic pattern brass hilt sabre with an anodized scabbard purchased by the Ordnance Department of the Army, hence the name "Ordnance Sword". They have stamped Waffenamt codes and property numbers. These swords could be drawn from stores for occasions which required a sword for wear and the individual did not own one. The sword would be returned to stores after the event. Usually seen produced by Carl Eickhorn and Alcoso, and date coded for the mid 1930s. I'm sure there were other makers and dates, just haven't seen them.
