The elaborately blued and gilt blade features an unsharpened, single edge. The guard is relief cast German silver. Blade: 19 5/8 inches. OAL: 25 1/2 inches. Wood scabbard wrapped in black leather with a secondary dagger slot (dagger absent) and German silver fittings. Throat bears the mark "STROBLBERGER/MUNCHEN" (active from the early-late 1800s). The included paired baldric (galabandelier) is of matching black leather with a pair of silver wire bands, multiple German silver mounts, high relief stags head on the front with a lanyard ring and attached chain retaining a vent pick that has an attached holster on the baldric and arms/belted badge of the Princes of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. This fine sword would have been worn by the princes themselves or high ranking members of their court while on a hunt.
