Item #68297 : Original era manufacture. Bavarian Infantry officers pattern sword by W.K.C.. The chrome finished steel blade measures 32 inches in length with an etched floral panel on each side bearing the In Treue Fest motto. The blade runs straight and true, no nicks in the cutting edge, no real corrosion issues, just some light surface staining on the spine just above the guard. Dark gold patina finish to the brass guard, backstrap and pommel, shagreen wrapped grip bound with a single strand of wire, which is missing the upper third at the pommel. Dent free chrome finished scabbard with two carrying rings, both scabbard screws are intact. Few spots of wear to the plating, with some cleaned light pitting at the drag, otherwise a very clean sword.
