German WKC 30’s parade sabre and portepee

[F54]

Good day,

 

This is my first post here.  Here is a German parade sabre.  It looks like a WW1 NCO sabre, but the marking on the blades, as per my researches, lead to a post Weimar or WW2 sabre. It has a WKC marking that started supposedly in the 30’s.

 

Since there were private purchasing and that the economical situation was not at its best, can I assume that a WW2 German soldier had such a saber?

 

I also have that portepee that have seen better days.  Can it be a match to that sword?

 

Any informations will be appreciated

 

Thank you!

F54,

 

Your sword is a generic P guard Officer sword made by WKC between the wars until the end of WWII with this logo.  This brass hilt sword is shown in their catalog as their Nr.3 "Offizier-Einheitssabel" if made with a leather finger loop, which yours does not have, or a Nr.29 "Glatter Kavall.-Offiz.-Sabel".  WKC also sold them as Customs, Fire Department, etc. "Plain-Jane swords".  Officer swords can generally be distinguished by the little re-enforcement at the corner of the P guard whereas the EM/NCO sword does not usually have this little addition.   The Officer Portepee you show with the sword would be correct.

 

I hope this is helpfull.
