What sword is it?

[Bernd Wiedemann]

On one of my fotos I found this sword.

May someone tell me what it is?

Many thanks for your help.

If this sword is worn by an active WWII officer it is probably a "Traditions-degen" from Imperial times. It appears to be an old style Guard Sword (with a grip star) that would have originally been worn in a frog but Beamte swords were also made in this manner and I can't tell from the Portepee. An older officer could have elected to continue to wear his old Imperial sword or a son might be wearing his father's sword during the later war.

The man was veteran of WWI, he was active officer in WWII.
