Original Imperial German WWI Artillery Officer's Sword by E. & F. Hörster & Co dated 1916 - Blücher Saber Thompson SMG - Waldshut Chilbi (Festival) TinnieOriginal item: Only One Available. Just received out of long "attic storage"! Despite the machine guns and artillery, swords were still issued to officers in WWI. This is a fine example of the German Artillery Officer's Sword, commonly referred to as the "Blcher Sabel," named for the Prussian Commander Gebhard Leberecht von Blcher, who was ally to the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. This example is in very nice "attic find"
