I am selling my Prussian infantry hanger, circa 1786-1816. The model designation is: Preußische Infanteriesäbel M 1715 in der Form ab 1786. Similar to the earlier Model 1715, but with a modified grip pattern. A new pattern of hanger was adopted in 1816.
The cipher on the blade, which is clearly visible both sides, is FWR for Frederick William Rex, for king Frederick William II (1786-1797) and Frederick William III (1797-1840).
The overall condition of the sword is "very good condition". There is some black oxidisation to the blade, but no damage. The blade remains nice and tight in the hilt, even the leather hilt washer is intact. The slightly curved blade measures 25.5 inches long and still has a service edge to it.
The cast brass hilt is in wonderful condition. Regiment and rack numbers stamped on shell-guard and knuckle-guard.
The sword comes complete with it's original leather scabbard, which has shrunk a little over the past 200+ years, but otherwise is in very good condition.
Price GBP £550+pp
