1930’s German Army Officer’s Sabre by Alcoso. (2)
A 1930’s – WW2 German army officers sword. By Alcoso pattern number 119, it has a cast white metal hilt which was probably originally plated with eagle langet to one side and cartouche langet to the other. It has a very good long curved blade with a single fuller to bother sides and the Alcoso makers mark can be found on the ricasso under the Langet, but can be clearly seen.
It has a steel scabbard, which if it had any kind if paint finish on it, this is now gone and the metal has pitting.
This sword is in very good original condition, do damage, just wear to the surface of the hilt The blade is clean with very light staining. It also comes with its original sword knot, the strap is black leather with two lines of metal wire with a red line to the centre. The knot or acorn itself is silver metal bullion with green lines, this also has a green centre. This knot I believe was issued to Reich Municipal Protection Police, but as most officers served as Municipal on Jersey, this is a nice little oddity with this sword. The knot is in good order with wear and some loss to the bullion wire in places.
It measures 38.5 inches long
