This Doves Head Army Officer's Sword, produced by E.& F. Hörster Solingen is in EXC+ condition overall. The total length is 108.9 cm.

Grip: The grip is a celluloid over carved wood base. This celluloid has a most attractive sheen to its surfaces. The grip is tightly wrapped with triple twisted brass wire.

Blade: This blade has high quality mirror finish nickel plating and it easily rates in full mint condition. The blade’s obverse ricasso has the double ovals of this firm’s logo. The ovals trap the firm’s name and location “E.u.F. Hörster Solingen”. Inside is the large letter “H” with the smaller “hs” letters inside having a downward pointing sword piercing them. The original blade washer is in place.

Scabbard: The scabbard of this example is straight throughout and has really fine original black paint. This paint shows only the most nominal of age and rates at about 95%.
