Hi Detlef:

I'm glad you got this one! I was watching the auction also. A nice older example with the upturned scabbard. From its appearance and the style of writing I would say this is a pre-WWII piece, perhaps 1900-1920.

I believe the Major's first name is Duane, a fairly common U.S. first name. I have searched online for him but no success.

Ian.
