Hi Jim,
Great and informative post!
I have a 1912 officers model. It is supposed to be an outstanding sword, but to me it feels a bit clumsy, though probably was OK for mounted thrusting use. Once I saw a Indian army version, with a slightly shorter and much lighter blade (troopers issue) and it felt much better. The German WKC rendition also felt better in my hands - It too, had a shorter blade.
Cheers
Chris
