1/10
Description
The blade of the sabre is steel, with visible grooves and double fullers on both sides. The spine of the blade shows a deep temper line. The blade is double-edged. The grip is made of beech wood, with a brass crossguard and an oval hole for the sling. The quillons are trapezoidal in shape with visible joins. The guard is made at a right angle, connecting to the pommel. The pommel has a brass cap with a screw fastening the tang of the blade.
On the spine of the blade, there are visible markings, most likely from the civilian expert Tadeusz Książnicki, stamped with "k/2" inside an oval, and the sabre's number A5201. On the outside of the blade, there is the model designation "S.wz.34." and on the opposite side, the manufacturer's mark "H. LUDWIKÓW/KIELCE". The sabre comes with its original scabbard, also numbered A5201.
The wz.34 sabre is the most recognizable sabre of the Polish Army from the interwar period.
The overall condition of the blade and grip is as shown in the pictures. The sabre was broken in the scabbard and has been repaired. The leather sling and frog are later additions.
