Discover German Parade Sabre With Lion's Head And Steel Scabbard

German parade sabre with lion's head, officer's sabre with steel scabbard



A German parade sabre, also called a lion's head sabre due to its special pommel shape.



Sabres with lion's head pommels were often part of the uniform of officers in the Prussian and German armies. They were represented in many variants and were still used by the high ranks of the German army in both World Wars of the 20th century.



Although this beautiful and inexpensive sword is not an exact replica of a historical original, it is based on the design of the ceremonial sabres worn by German officers with their dress uniforms during World War II.



The thin, slightly curved blade made of EN45 spring steel is unsharpened and has a groove that is approximately 54 cm long. The blunt edge is approximately 1 mm thick and the continuous tang is screwed to the end of the handle.



The vessel consists of a handle with handle cap and a handlebar attached to the crosspiece. The pommel is in the form of a lion's head with two inset ruby-red eyes, and the back of the handle and the ferrule are decorated with an opulent floral pattern. The open, richly decorated crosspiece (English: stirrup = stirrup) emerges from the lion's mouth and merges into the equally ornately decorated crosspiece. This has elaborately designed guard handles and ends with a downward-curving guard in the shape of a lion's head. The handle section with wooden core is wrapped with leather and brass wire. The bow, the lion's-headed grip cap, the back of the grip, the ferrule and the crosspiece including the lug are made of brass.



The dress sabre is delivered with a matching nickel-plated steel scabbard with two rings, movable support rings and a metal end piece.



This German sabre with lion's head pommel is not suitable for combat, but is a highly decorative collector's item and also ideal as a prop, for example, for the theatre.
