Original Imperial German WWI Baron Manteuffel 5th Dragoon Regiment M1889 Presentation Sword with Fireblued Blade by Alexander Coppel of Solingen Chinese Militaria Limey SectorOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a beautiful classic Nickel Plated Imperial German WWI Presentation sword, used by a member of the Baron Manteuffel 5th Dragoon Regiment. It conforms to the Model 1889 standard quite well, with a straight thrusting blade, and a basket hilt guard. The presentation version is of course quite less robust than the cavalry issue, and these were privately purchased, so there is no acceptance marking on the spine.
