German Bavarian M1855 Infantry Officer Sword

This Bavarian officer sword features a straight, double-etch steel blade showing age staining. The brass hilt has a D-guard with a folding section and wire-wrapped shagreen grip, paired with a black steel scabbard. Introduced in 1855, this sword was carried by infantry officers of the Kingdom of Bavaria during the First World War. Crafted in Solingen by WKC, it represents the distinct military traditions of Bavaria. The blade is etched with floral panels and the Bavarian motto. The folding guard features the Bavarian lion, and the steel scabbard shows minor wear on its original finish.
