Prussian Artillery Sword [M1848] by WKC Solingen

Preußen (Prussian) model 1848 Artillery Sword. Issued sabre is very heavy construction. The spine of the blade is flat, with a long deep fuller on the steel blade. Blade is with inscription, obverse: "Feld-Art.Regt. v. Scharnhorst (1. Hannov.) B10.", reverse: "Peninsula - Waterloo - Göhrde". Preußen (Prussian) sabre have a wooden grip that bulges out in the center. The grip is rivited on the sides to large tangs at the centre which protrude off of the back-strap (the steel back of the grip). The hand guard (protecting the knuckles and hand) has a distinctive "P" curve from the top of the pommel to the end were it joins onto the crossguard which ends in a round curl, designed for catching the blades of opponents. The scabbard on this example shows almost no wear to the black manganese parkerized finish. The suspention ring on the Preußen scabbard is fixed to the scabbard and does not move.
