Re: Please help identify this sword
Hi, going by the style of the Eickhorn makers mark, this is Third Reich era in date. The cross insignia is Portugese I think?
Cheers, Ade

Very likely. That particular coat of arms was used by Romania 1922-1947. And seeing how it's Solingen and Eickhorn marked I would place it WW II era. They were a Nazi ally.
It's officer grade from the looks of it. I would place more value than a German Officers Dress Sabre of the same condition, the ones with the lions head pommel, since fewer numbers were produced for the Romanian Army I would imagine.

Re: Please help identify this sword
Thanks for the information Ned; I think you are right about it being officer's grade.It is a beautiful straight, single fullered sword, with folding guards, and a plated scabbard. I got lucky, it would seem!

It's a nice sword, with the added bonus of being a scarce one . Fred
