WWII US Horstmann Philadelphia military sword & scabbard Etched blade beautiful!! Antique sword in the scabbard/sheath. Marked Horstmann Corporation, Philadelphia (with a symbol underneath). The BLADE IS 30″ LONG and 7/8″ wide nearest the handle. It comes with a 31 long scabbard and has beautifully etched blade. The blade is marked US on side, and under an American Eagle on the other side, marked E PLURUBUS UNUM. The handle looks very elaborate and has a black grip. There are 2 loops attached to the sheath. So that it will hang on a belt. NOTE: there is one rough spot near the tip of the scabbard (see photo it has a little rust or something developing). Naturally, there are signs from use (minor scratches), and it likely will need a good polishing to remove the very faint tarnishing. That’s all the history that I know about this piece. It is from a smoke-free home. I know that often these swords have someone’s name on them but I cannot find one.

Original German Kriegsmarine naval officer’s sword with sheath, either Weimar republic or WWII but reconciled to be more likely produced during the Weimar Republic after researching different design variants of the lion’s head German naval sword and the apparent scarcity of this exact design. Sword has NO OFFENSIVE MARKINGS and is in overall very good condition. Sheath has some light rubbing wear to the leather as well as some minor and superficial white scuffs. Sheath is overall very well intact though the middle and lower brass pieces are missing their staples. Blade is in very nice condition and shows an etched naval motif which remained the same from the WWI imperial period and earlier through the Weimar Republic and WWII. Blade is very well intact but does show some normal tarnishing for it’s age that should be able to be cleaned if the next owner chooses to do so. Blade has 553 serial number as well as ACS with scales mark for the Alcoso maker. Grip has a crack from the upper end to about the middle measuring about 1 1/2 inches. Though the grip is cracked no pieces are falling free or loose at all. Hilt is in excellent condition with anchor and floral motif with lion’s head at the lower end with a green and red jewel for each eye. Hinges on hilt perfectly intact and function as they should. Portapee is present and sturdy and overall in good condition with some obvious fraying. Blade measures 28 1/4 inches long. Entire sword in sheath measures 33 7/8 inches.
