Officer Degen - Eisenhauer garantiert, damast blade

[Berra]

Hi Guys
Trying to find out what type of degen this is. I only find similar PREUSSEN types with the eagle on the crossguard and a monogram on the handle.

Degen M 1889 für Offiziere.

Hi Bjørn,

the cypher on the handle and eagle belong to the prussian IOD (Infantry officer sword). This one is from the kingdom of Saxony - so it is a completly different model and nationality - but everything is fine with your sword - and it has a royal cypher too - but etched to the blade.
