by Alexander Koppel - Solingen The hilt is solid brass in a plain, dove head design. At the pommel top there is a spanner-like nut which acts to retain the tang of the blade. The spanner has a waffenamt stamped into it. The grip is of fine black celluloid over a base of carved wood. It has a couple of rubs on the lower area, possibly caused by a portepee, but they are not bad. There is also slight damage to the celluloid on the top reverse. The lower portion of the hilt is stamped with a waffenamt; a stick bird over the number “118”. Below this is “8937”. On the other side of the blade hilt is “AC/G” and another waffenamt. The upper part of the obverse scabbard, beneath the throat, is also stamped “8937”. The reverse side is marked “AC/G”, also with a waffenamt. The scabbard of this sword is blued with some salty spots from handling, something seent on Ordnance pieces.This scabbard is also stamped with the matching "8937"
