2 Cavalry swords, 1st Argentine Army, 1898, Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen.
This are two Cavalry swords from the 1st Argentine Army, model of 1898, manufactured by Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen.
They have more than 100 years old and they're new, never used, just like a soldier would receive it back then. They were a recent gift and I love them! The sword weights 1kg and 2.5kg with the metal scabbard. Blade lenght is 34" I hope you like the pictures.

WOW! Thanks for sharing those. Were they issued to a soldier? If so, maybe he could be tracked down thu the serial numbers. The value would increase tremendously with provenance.
Love the pics, the swords and that tile! __________________ "Many are chosen, but few are Pict" "The doer alone, learneth" NT Neo-Devo

I'm just glad I did not serve in that army! I would have been killed in the very first clash. Too busy protecting my sword from any harm....LOL. Beautiful pieces. How did they remain preserved so well?

Those swords were bought by an ex military on an army auction many years ago. He recently passed at 89 years old and the sister gave me the swords to me.
Maybe they were never issued to a soldier or they were issued to a soldier that was never at the front. I'd have to research some more to rpovide a definitive answer. Ruben __________________ Ruben How to Order a BBQ Knife! http://www.calocustomknives.com/docs/bbqknife.htm
