An M1889 Extra Sword, Husaren-Regiment König Wilhelm I (1. Rheinisches) Nr. 7, by P.D. Lüneschloss","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eHusaren Extradegen M1889\u003c\/em\u003e). A well-preserved M1889 Officer’s sword, measuring 98 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features an 82 cm-long, nickel-plated, magnetic steel blade which retains factory-original sharpening to both the tip and lower edge. The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “P.D. LÜNESCHLOSS, SOLINGEN”. The blade sits securely within a multi-piece hilt, with an intact blackened leather buffer pad covering the seam. The hilt features an elaborated plated magnetic steel basket decorated with an ornate German imperial eagle, with a handle grip composed of a single piece of ribbed dark brown bakelite material executed in an ergonomic fashion. It culminates in a domed pommel nut which maintains the sword’s structural integrity. Stamped onto the reverse of the basket is a mark of “7. H. 5. 21.”, for Husaren-Regiment König Wilhelm I (1. Rheinisches) Nr. 7, 5. Schwadron, weapon 21. Additional acceptance and depot marks are stamped onto the obverse of the basket. The sword is accompanied by a matching scabbard, constructed of a toned magnetic metal shaft. A ring and loop set into the upper quarter of the shaft accommodate a hanger, while the throat also retains a functional catch to firmly hold the sword in place during storage. Stamped onto the throat is a mark of “7. H. 2. 80.”, indicating previous distribution to a weapon wielded by a member of 2. Schwadron. Issues consistent with age and war are evident, and include minor running marks to the blade, some surface oxidation to the metal elements of the hilt, and some loss of finish to the hilt resulting in sporadic surface oxidation. This complete and unit-attributed example remains in a better than very fine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49851222360341,"sku":"G62398","price":736.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G62398_3.jpg?v=1775761431","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-imperial-an-m1889-extra-sword-husaren-regiment-konig-wilhelm-i-1-rheinisches-nr-7-by-pd-luneschloss-g62398","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
