    Imperial German Cavalry Sword Marking

    Hello, found a cavalry sword this morning, crown FW marked on the tang and not sure if its "09" or "60" also it's unit marked " R.B.K2.25" on the scabbard and hilt, several other units have been hashed out. Can someone give me an idea what era this might be. I'll post some pics later today. Thanks

    It would be interesting to see a pic of this if one could be posted.

      Here are some pictures. It's a pretty nice sword with nice patina. It has a long blade 35 inches long.

                According to Jeff Noll's book, The markings are for a Reserve Bäckereikolonne, i.e., reserve bakery column. The earlier marking is likely for the Garde Fußartillerie Regiment, 3.Haubitze Batterie.

                    Huh. I can honestly say I didn't see that one coming. Great Franco-Prussian sabre with a ton of history.

                      Well, even bakers had to protect themselves, though I suppose this was probably carried by a Fahrer in the column.
