    Imperial war sword, circa 1885.

    Hi guys....
    Been looking thru the old pile the last few weeks. Ocassionaly finding interesting things I have squirreled away and forgotten about. That happens more than I care to think about.
    Anyway, I was curious about what I have here and perhaps a current value.
    Maybe one of the fellow collectors or historians can provide some info on this sword or the unit that is stamped on the guard and scabbsrd.
    Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any info.

              This is a Wüttemberg Train (as in baggage train, supply train, etc.) troops sword (Säbel). It's been reissued and it's scabbard has two carrying rings, indicating that it's pre-1906. It was reissued to the Handwerker Komp. of the the Württemberg Train Batl.Nr.13. It's a nice piece.
