Bad Cannstatt is a district of Stuttgart. Nickel finished hilt with checkered grips, and a black enamel finished scabbard with a brown leather frog. Signal Battalion 25 was a component of the 25th Infantry Division, which participated in the invasions of both Poland and France. Later the 25th would be redesignated a motorized unit, seeing combat on the Eastern Front, and eventually a Panzergrenadier unit before war's end. Following it's near destruction at Minsk, the unit was reformed and saw combat in France and Germany in the last days of the war.
