Re: Sword ID help
Hi Heathen welcome to the forum It has the look of a bavarian army sword from WW1 that I have seen once. I have no idea on the portepee.

Re: Sword ID help
This "degen" is of a very high quality.
This will be a Generals Degen or a gift to a high ranking Officers in service of one of the German Nobility prob. around 1900.
compare it with this kind of degen:

or the later Generals degen for luftwaffe:
Wittmann Militaria #33293C Luftwaffe General's Degen by Carl Eickhorn

Re: Sword ID help
Very difficult to identify.
These kind of parade swords were ment to be wore by civilians as well, thise can go from a academician, over a mayor.
In Belgium even a teacher was in title to wear one (along with a uniform!) on special occasions.
Did you try the SFI ?

Re: Sword ID help
Thanks for your replies. Even if its exact identity can't be nailed down, at least I have a better idea of its age! The scabbard looks identical to that of the Luftwaffe sword, actually, so I'm leaning more towards WWII age. I'll try cross-posting on the SFI.

Re: Sword ID help
This looks to be the “hochfein ziselierter Montur” (special/fancy embellished version) of the Prussian Railway Officials sword, which is in the form of the old model Prussian Infantry Officer's Degen (sword), most likely from the turn of the century (circa 1900). FP

Re: Sword ID help
I agree with the time period proposed, early 1900's but am not sure it's Preußen Railway since it doesn't seem to have the winged raiway wheel that is so often associated with this servic although it would surprise me if Frogprince was incorrect. I was thinking along the lines of a Preußen court degen. Definitely not Bayern IMHO.

Re: Sword ID help
Listed as a Prussian Civil Service Sword Similar to The early model Prussian Infantry Officer's Sword Except it has a smaller and lighter guard. See the book SWORDS OF GERMANY 1900/1945 BY ANGOLIA page # 397.
