K015064 IMPERIAL GERMAN NAVY OFFICER'S SABER. (Marinesäbel) Roughly, 73cm long, slightly curved, Damascus steel construction blade features a full fuller. Nicely maker marked WKC. The saber has die cast, gilt plated, brass, hilt fittings consisting of an obverse, swivel hinged clam shell cross guard, a reverse, a ferrule, a "D", knuckle bow, a back-strap and a nicely detailed, pronounced lion’s head pommel. The obverse, swivel hinged, clam shell cross guard can be set in a fold back or forward position as desired and features a high relief, embossed, vertical fouled anchor and Imperial Crown. Reverse guard is also folding with the locking "hole" for the scabbard and also has the original owner name engraved onto it. The lion’s head pommel has a nicely detailed mane and pronounced snout with inset red, (Port), and green, (Starboard), glass eyes. The saber has a contoured, white Ivory grip with a central bulge, and twisted, horizontally repeating, brass wire wrap all intact. The saber comes with its original blackened leather scabbard with a vertical stitched seam to the reverse and three gilt plated brass fittings. All three fittings feature scalloped edges, ornate impressed stylized swirl patterns and horizontal stripes and are secured to the scabbard by large staple like clips on the reverse. The bottom fitting features an extended "drag", while the central and top fittings both have extended securing loops and the hanger suspension rings intact. Also comes with its original portepee. Nice complete example.
