My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Very nice find. It is indeed an infantry officer's degen for German Colonial troops, or Schutztruppe, used in Wilhelm II era. That crown is not the Prussian crown but the German State Crown which was created in 1871 and symbolized the new German empire. I'm wondering about that scabbard though, I don't think it's correct for this sword.
Thank you guys.
Anderson ,why you think the scabbards is incorrect?
Regards
Nice early piece of History Ivan
