[ s45 ] Imperial German Train Battalion guard sword etched blued panels

Description

Imperial German Train Battalion guard sword etched blued panels on each side & both images are different, lots of wear to hilt plating hut you could use an abrasive rubber & polish the hell out of it & keep it oiled if you wanted to improve its look, Hilt still has the thumb loop attached to the guard, There is only slightest wear to blade plating as seen in images, the blade is very nice, well etched, most blueing remains on the panels. Hilt is good with wire present, black painted scabbard is good, scabbard paint may or may not be original which is neither here nor there as it looks fine, a few scratches as expected, maker marked along back edge.
