An interesting example of a private purchase EM artillery saber, it's unfortunate that it has some poor storage damage. Best Regards, Fred

Carl Eickhorn's "back to back" squirrel trademark was used between 1906 and 1921, so that fits nicely with the regiment history.

My real question about this style is when it became the regulation Wehrmacht NCO sword? Also, was this style used in the Weimar period as a kavalrie sabel? (I've seen at least one photo caption suggesting that it was.) I have an Alcoso-made one with an extremely long plain but nickel-plated blade that except for having a mobile scabbard ring is virtually the same design as this one, and assume it's either a Weimar/TR kavalrie sabel, NCO sword, or both.

Correcting a spelling error error - it should have said:

Junior grade mounted NCO's and EM authorized for off duty wear the Mannschaftensäbel type just as they did during the the Imperial and Weimar eras.

Thank you Fred, for your explanation - it makes more sense that a more robust model like this one would be the enlisted sabel, even if it was by then something of an antique! I suppose the one I saw identified as one in a TR-rea wedding photo was another of the private purchases intended for walking-out and dress purposes, etc. like mine.
