Original Spanish WW1 M1873 Short Sword

An original Spanish Model 1873 short artillery sword with its original leather scabbard. The weapon is in good antique condition, showing honest age-related wear. Designed as a compact defensive sidearm for Spanish artillery crews during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this pattern is less common than standard infantry models. The blade is wide and heavy, paired with a solid brass crossguard and a ribbed brass hilt.
