Imperial Naval Sword with Damascus Blade by A. Lüneburg Kiel

This impressive Imperial Naval Sword with Damascus Blade, spanning the early 1900's, the First World War. The Sword has the distributor maker mark on the blade: A. Lüneburg Kiel.


Grip: The grip of the sword is in fine condition. It is a beautiful example, having turned to a pleasing golden color throughout and having nice grains. This grip is tightly wrapped with triple brass wire. The pommel is in the shape of the traditional lion head. This lion head looks a little different than the standard types probably because it is fairly early. The cat is fitted with glass eyes. The cat has outstanding details to his teeth, whiskers, brows and mane. The mane flows all the way down throughout the back strap having much enhancing. The “D” guard is the type with stationary basket. The “D” shaping area has the traditional naval designs with a pebble pattern in the center. At the center of the basket is an upright oval design which contains an Imperial crown positioned over a fouled anchor. The detail is outstanding throughout the crown and anchor and in these areas the backgrounds have also been thoroughly pebbled. The ferrule is a fine matching brass having raised laurel leaves which go about its circumference. The reverse langet is the folding type. It has an outstanding dedication professionally engraved into the surfaces. It states, "Papenburg”.

Blade: The blade is an outstanding, hand-forged Damascus example. It measures 73 cm long and has a quill-back end. The quill is stamped with the name “A. Lüneburg Kiel”. This is probably the retailer.

Scabbard: The scabbard is a fine black leather example showing little age. In fact this leather is still nice and supple and in great shape. It is decorated with the traditional twin lines that run down the edges of both sides. It is sewn up the rear in the usual manner. The scabbard mounts are matching patinated brass having the traditional naval engravings. These mounts are retained by staples being the style which are standard as opposed to the larger type. All staples are present and in place.
