German Imperial Lion Head Sword by Holler

This officer's sword features a triple-etched steel blade, a gilded brass hilt with a detailed lion head pommel, and a black celluloid grip. The black-painted steel scabbard shows light paint wear. Carried by artillery officers of the Imperial German Army before and during the First World War, this sword symbolized status. It was crafted by the renowned manufacturer F.W. Höller of Solingen. The blade is decorated with military trophies and floral motifs, remaining bright and well-preserved. The lion head pommel features red glass eyes, and the wire wrap on the grip is complete.
