Imperial German Model 1889 cavalry officer's sword and scabbard. The hilt has a nickel brass guard with the heraldic lion and shield of Bavaria as the cartouche badge and has a brown bakelite grip. A light brown sword knot with a yellow and white fringed pommel is wrapped around the guard. The straight blade has a single fuller to each side to within 185 mm of the double edge spear point and a trade mark of a set of scales is stamped on the left ricasso. There is a feint etching on each side with a banner enscribed In Treue Fest. The blued steel scabbard is plain with two hanger strap bands but only the top one has a fixed loop ring.
This sword would have been worn by a hussar officer of the Bavarian Cavalry.
