Here I have the Imperial German ww1 new pattern artillery sabre. I know the 1920 stamp is for acceptance post ww1. However the other regimantal stamps I have on idea. I had to clean this example. The sellers "dark patina" was in reallity a crust of rust. Fortounatly I think I have got it at the right time before deeper pitting of the metal. All the stamps are now visable and I hope I have achieved a balance between cleaning and keeping the age. The scabbard ring and strap projection did get rather too clean in parts. The scabbard still has black paint residue. I keeping with the rules I show the whole sword but it is the stamping that I would like information on. Sadly rather a nasty nick in the blade .

I now know all about it. Schutzpolizei Schneidemühl 2, 1st command district, 6th hundred Poland. So not the nicest history but, I think a good historic piece to own. Presumably mounted units.
