1889M 15th Hanovarian Hussar Regiment Officer's Sword, Sold

In overall good condition, a WW1 era Prussian / German 1889M 15th Hanovarian Hussar Regiment Officer's Sword; Degen Husaren-Regiment „Königin Wilhelmina der Niederlande“ (Hannoversches) Nr. 15.

Unusual in that the commander in chief of this Prussian / German regiment was Queen Wilhelminha of the Netherlands!

The 32 1/2 inch blade is in overall good condition but with some tiny rust specks throughout. Blade firm in the hilt. The hilt with some damage as these are prone, but not too much. Grip aged and stained but good. The folding guard section works. Makers mark is for Alex Coppel.

A good sword from an interesting and highly respected regiment! Our price is £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference Q85 (0427). Further full / sized images available on request.
