Original Argentine M1909 Short Sword

Original Pre-WWI Argentine Model 1909 Short Sword – WKC – Matching Scabbard & Frog

Offered for sale is an original Argentine Model 1909 short sword, dating to the pre–World War I period, and manufactured by the well-known German maker WKC (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co., Solingen).

This pattern was widely used by Argentine forces and is closely associated with early 20th-century military equipment influenced by European (particularly German) design.

The sword features a steel blade and standard military hilt construction typical of the M1909 pattern. The blade shows honest age-related wear, consistent with its age.

Importantly, this example comes with a matching scabbard and frog, making it a complete and desirable set. The scabbard fits the blade well, and the frog remains intact, showing expected wear from age and use.
