Sword 127 (62) This sword is a Model M1889 Prussian Infantry Officers sword by Carl Kaiser & co. The trade mark comprises a pair of crossed sabres superimposed over the initials "C K Co" and surmounted by a crown. There are two basic patterns of this sword, fixed and folding guard. The fixed guard has three vertical guard bars covering the knuckles whilst the folding guard type only employs two. However, there are likely to be variations. Additionally, higher quality and presentation swords tend to include far more hilt decoration. The Imperial Prussian Royal Cypher is positioned centrally on the grip. This is a higher quality sword and employs a three guard knuckle bow with a folding cartouche.
a. Hilt. Cast in gilded brass with fine detailing, the hilt comprises seven parts,
(1) Oval tang nut.
(2) Pommel cap.
(3) Knuckle bow and cross guard. On the fixed guard model, this item includes the cartouche.
(4) Cartouche. Not a separate item on the fixed guard sword.
(5) Furrule
(6) Finger support. This is usually an optional item so may/may not be present. In this case it is present.
(7) Grip assembly. This includes the wooden former, cover and wire wrap. In this case shagree with a brass wire wrap.
b. Obverse Langet. None.
c. Reverse langet. None.
d. Pommel. Ornate oval tang nut and cap assembly.
e. Blade. Plain, plated with double full size fullers.
f. Scabbard. Standard black steel scabbard with double ring suspension fittings and an added loop to the reverse side of the scabbard. Lower suspension ring removed leaving the scabbard band and ring support.
g. Rarety. Scarce.

Sword 135 (193) Attributed to the firm of Mohr & Speyer Berlin, the trade mark on this rare Bavarian Diplomatic/Government sword is the firm's tytle in a square. It is unlikely that Mohr & Speyer actually produced the sword but rather retailed it on behalf of the actual manufacturer.
a. Hilt. Cast in brass, the hilt is secured directly to the blade tang. The grip is of wood with obverse and reverse mother of pearl slab pannels. Affixed to the obverse grip slab is an insignia in the form of that used by the ancient Dukes of Bavaria (Alernate blue and white cross hatching) with the Imperial Crown superimposed at its centre.
b. Obverse Langet. A foiliage patterned clam shell with a laying lion at its centre and lion head finials.
c. Reverse langet. None
d. Pommel. A lion head.
e. Blade. Double edged polished steel without fullers. Both sides lightly etched with foliage and motto.
f. Scabbard. Black leather with a brass frog stud securred to the brass locket. The scabbard also has a brass chape.
g. Rarety. A rare sword by an equally rare maker/retailer.
