Prussian Honor Saber of the Lauenburg Field Artillery Regiment No. 45 – Extra Model (M1889)

A rare and highly elegant example of an Imperial German Prussian officer’s honor saber, a privately purchased Extra model for officers of the Lauenburg Field Artillery Regiment No. 45. Manufactured after the pattern M1889 with deep royal-blue tempering and rich three-sided etching, including the back of the blade. The blade bears the finely executed inscription “Lauenbg. Feld Artill. Regt. Nr. 45” along with an elaborate artillery motif. Total length: 98.5 cm.

Grip: The grip is covered with genuine ray skin and wrapped with a silver wire binding. It fits perfectly in hand and displays the elegant curvature typical of Imperial German officer sabers.

Blade: High-quality three-sided etched blade featuring ornamental decorations and a detailed artillery scene. The front bears the inscription “Lauenbg. Feld Artill. Regt. Nr. 45”. The blue tempering is deep and even, the etched panels remain clear and crisp. The spine of the blade is also etched – a hallmark of superior craftsmanship found on presentation-grade sabers of the Imperial period.

Scabbard: Original steel scabbard with black lacquer finish, straight and fully preserved without dents. The surface shows a consistent, authentic patina. A single carrying ring is attached to the upper fitting – a fine combination of elegance and functionality.

Historical Background: Lauenburg Field Artillery Regiment No. 45 & Model M1889 Saber

The Lauenburg Field Artillery Regiment No. 45 was established in 1899 as part of the 9th Field Artillery Brigade of the IX Army Corps, stationed in Lauenburg, Schleswig-Holstein. It quickly became one of the most respected artillery units of the Imperial German Army.

During the First World War, the regiment served on the Western Front, participating in the battles of the Somme, Flanders, and Arras. Known for technical precision and discipline, its officers maintained the highest standards of artillery command and tactics. Many presentation sabers were ordered privately after 1918 as mementos of service and comradeship.

The Artillery Officer’s Saber Model 1889 was the standard Prussian pattern for officers at the turn of the century. In its Extra grade form, such as this example, it was manufactured in Solingen and featured blue tempering, fine etching, and a ray-skin grip with silver wire wrap. These luxury versions were ordered privately for ceremonial occasions and served as symbols of rank and pride.

Sabers bearing a complete regimental inscription – as here, “Lauenbg. Feld Artill. Regt. Nr. 45” – are exceptionally rare and represent an important link between Imperial craftsmanship and Prussian military tradition.
