uktone Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi I wondered if some one could give me any information and possibly a value on this sword? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi, if my information is correct, you have a Carl Eickhorn Field Marshall`series dress sword from the "Scharnhorst" series no/1706, prices are hard to judge and rely on condition of the blade, scabbard, and if any restoration has been made, ie repainted on the scabbard, yours looks pretty well all intact albeit there is some rubbing on the guard, lions head and the eagle motif, The grip wire looks to be all intact and tight but there is a lot of dirt over the ornate metalwork, but this is to be expected. I would say a top end estimate on this would be in the region of £400-500 if everything is in a reasonable condition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uktone Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Many thanks Is it ok to put it up for sale on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I think it would be a good thing to show the whole blade first plus the general condition of the whole sword before putting it up for sale,, this gives people an idea as to what they would be buying, plus please note I gave an estimate of a top end price, for that it would need to be top end condition, also show the full scabbard as well, bear in mind that other collectors of swords may regard this piece as fair condition and not agree with my estimate which was based on pristine models from the late 70s mid 80s, valued then at £230 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
