Measuring 35 inches overall, this sword is fitted with a 30 inch curved quillback blade, showing a fine Damascus pattern down the length. An etched and gold washed panel wraps around the bottom of the blade, with a crowned "FR" cipher and "EISENHAUER" (Iron Hewer) on the right side over the WKC logo, "MATTH. MULLER KGL. HOFL. LEIPZIG" on the spine, and the Coat of Arms of Saxony on the left side. The hilt is gilt brass, with a panther-head rear quillion, a set of crossed swords and pennants on the right languet, a blank inscription shield on the left, deep floral and leaf accented spine, the Saxon crest on the stirrup guard, a lion's head pommel with red glass eyes, and a wire wrapped rayskin grip. With an iron scabbard.

Very good. The blade shows a small amount of spotting, strong etching and Damascus pattern, and about 30% of the gold wash in the area protected by the languets. The hilt shows a fine aged patina overall with traces of gilt finish. Three small holes are present on the right languet, likely from a now-absent decorative mounting. The scabbard is rough. Overall a very attractive German military sword.
