German WWI Imperial German 1889 Infantry Officers Presentation Display Piece

An exceptional and highly detailed example of the 1889 pattern infantry officer’s presentation piece. The hilt features intricate detailing beyond the standard pattern, including a finely rendered Prussian eagle, stands of arms and flags, and floriated motifs mirrored on both sides of the bowl. The composition grip is undamaged, with slightly loose wire and FWR motifs still in place.

The long, double-fullered piece by Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co., Solingen, features a beautiful double-line presentation inscription: “This sword presented to our retiring comrade Herr Oberstleutnant Bickel from the Officer Korps of the 8th Rhenish Infantry Regiment No.70.” The reverse bears a scroll inscribed “1892 to 1898” with stands of arms and the regimental insignia of Infantry Regiment No.70, along with visible Damascus-style patterns. The nickel-finished scabbard remains in good condition, showing only one small indentation below the second hanging ring, and is complete with its throat, fittings, and twin suspension rings. The flat back strap is inscribed with the name of the Berlin retailer.
