An Officer’s 1693 Pattern Generalfeldmarschall Wrangel Parade Sabre, by Carl Eickhorn","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eHeer Säbel für Offiziere “Generalfeldmarschall Wrangel”\u003c\/em\u003e). A rare and well-preserved Heer Officer’s “Generalfeldmarschall Wrangel” parade sabre from Carl Eickhorn’s special edition “Feldherrn Serie” (Field Marshal Series), measuring 103 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 90 cm-long, nickel-plated, magnetic steel blade with a gentle curvature. Retaining factory-original sharpening to the tip, the blade also has double-sided fullers running the majority of the length of the top edge of each side. The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “ORIGINAL EICKHORN, SOLINGEN”, circumscribing the firm’s classic logo of a squirrel clutching a sword. The blade sits securely within a multi-piece hilt, with an intact black leather buffer pad covering the seam. The hilt features a metal crossguard, hand guard, and back strap, all finished in gilt. The obverse of the crossguard bears a raised Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, while the reverse features a shield-shaped medallion with a blank void awaiting the addition of an owner’s initials or monogram. The hand guard and back strap are decorated with oak and laurel leaves, while the pommel bears a raised oak leaf. A single piece of ribbed black celluloid composes the handle grip, with the ribbing retaining an original twisted and roller wire cord. Accompanying the sabre is its original scabbard, constructed of a black painted magnetic metal shaft. An integral ring situated just below the throat features a loop for the accommodation of a hanger. Minor issues consistent with age and wear are evident, and include faint running marks to the blade, slight loosening of the hilt, sporadic loss of finish to high-contact points of both the hilt and scabbard, and a crack to the scabbard loop. This high-quality, privately-purchased sword remains in an extremely fine condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50334539809045,"sku":"M0714-9","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_M0714-9_2.jpg?v=1793039355","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-heer-an-officers-1693-pattern-generalfeldmarschall-wrangel-parade-sabre-by-carl-eickhorn-m0714-9","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
