I have for sale another great deal if you are interested in WWI swords. This is a model 1913 (Patton) made by Springfield armory in 1915 and is numbered 30101. The SA and flaming bomb stamp are nice and clear. The blade is in great shape with no hits along the edge. The steel hilt still has its original black, with a little rust and a few scratches appropriate to its age (no abuse). It has the original leather washer. Now here is another bonus - you get to choose between two original scabbards - one with the original khaki canvas cover - or - another M1913 scabbard which I recently restored with a nice brown leather cover with a seam up the back. I am keeping another M1913 (a LF&C) for my personal collection and I really don't have a preference on the scabbards for my piece. On one hand, the original canvas cover is probably more valuable to the antique collector, however, for the re-enactor, in terms of durability and actual condition, the leather cover is nicer, especially if you ever intend to ride with this sword on your saddle.
I am asking 630 plus shipping CONUS firm. No trades. Outside of CONUS is fine but we will have to work out the shipping price in advance. Your choice on the scabbard. If it doesn't sell in a week or so I will list it on Ebay with a 630 reserve. Paypal or check is fine, if a check, will ship when check has cleared. Photos here:
