Scarce Prussian 1889M (Iron Hilted) Infantry Officers Sword

A very pleasing and seldom encountered Iron hilted (War service) 1889m Infantry Officers sword/degen manufactured by WKC, the iron hilt has a black japanned paintwork finish which matches the all metal scabbard.
The folding knuckle guard bearing the Prussian eagle is in good working order with very minor paint wear, the black composite grip is also in good condition along with the wire binding (very slight movement present),the brass Kaiser Wilhelm II motif is firm and with no movement, the leather finger loop has been removed which is quite common on this pattern sword.
The 30 1/2 inch long straight double fullered blade is in a very nice condition and clearly displays the WKC logos on the forte.
The scabbard with its single hanging ring is in very good condition apart from a small area of fatigue/surface rusting which could easily be rectified, the sword draws & returns well and retains a good firm hold on the blade (no rattle).
An eye catching example.
SORRY UK SALE ONLY & PROOF of AGE WILL BE REQUIRED (18+).
