19th Century Prussian Infantry Hanger.

German infantry hanger and scabbard from around the 1880’s. it has a solid brass guard with a short downturned quillon. It has a good steel plain blade with no fullers. The blade is marked W K & Co for Weyersberg, Kirschbeum and Company and it bears the joint mark of the two makers, which was in use from 1883.
The black leather scabbard has a brass top locket and centre band with hanger rings and a brass chape with a shoe piece. This sword is in excellent condition, there is no real damage to report, the blade is clean and free from any rust or pitting and its only fault I can see is a shallow dent to the chape on one side. It is a fabulous example of this type of sword which was popular in Europe the 19th century; this style of hanger was used in Germany, Holland, France Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Turkey and Great Britain in the early 19th century.
It measures 34.5 inches long.
