Numbers on scabbard and handle, are same?

I have to admit to a fondness for the swords made for the Unteroffizier mit Portepee myself. Made to the higher, what we would now probably call “milspec” standards. And passed by the German Army Inspectorate based in Solingen, with my fondness also extending to the Imperial era. With these types overall, at least in my experience, much scarcer than the ordinary officer types. Regards, Fred
Fine looking swords you have there.
You are correct, these with the WaA proof are military spec and are made of much better quality. The Officers swords I have from WWII are parade swords and nothing more. When you hold one of these in one hand and an officers in the other you can feel the difference in weight, size and quality.
