See the product in action.Vintage Hilborn Hamburger Sword US Navy With Scabbard
Made In Germany
- Manufacturer Location: The blade was manufactured in Solingen, Germany, very high-quality steel.
- Model: It is a version of the official U.S. Navy Model 1852 Officer's Dress Sword, a pattern that has been in use for formal and ceremonial purposes since the mid-19th century.
- These particular swords were widely distributed during the World War II era and the Korean War period, although the company remained a supplier of military items for decades after.
Features and Specifications
- Blade Material: The blade is typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant to rust and wear.
- Blade Details: The straight, single-edged blade often features extensive acid-etched panels with traditional patriotic and nautical motifs, including:
- Fouled anchors
- Stars
- Naval insignia and an eagle
- A "USN" marked flag and banner
- Rope and a trident motif
- Laurel leaf and berry motif along the spine
- Markings: The reverse of the blade is marked with the "Germany" or "Made in Solingen Germany" stamped.
- Size and DimensionsThe exact size of a particular sword can vary, as U.S. Navy regulations allow for a range of blade lengths (from 22 to 36 inches) to accommodate the officer's height and preference. However, most Hilborn Hamburger models are consistent.
- Overall Sword Length: Approximately 34 to 37 inches (86.4 to 94 cm).
- Blade Length: Commonly found with a 32-inch blade, though examples with 28 to 31.75-inch blades also exist. The official regulation specifies a blade length between 26 and 29 inches, so these longer blades might be a specific production variation or for taller officers.
- Scabbard Length: The scabbard is slightly longer than the blade, around 32.75 inches or more, to house the entire blade and fit with the hilt.
- Handle Length: Roughly 5.25 inches (excluding pommel and crossguard).
WeightThe weight of the sword is relatively light, consistent with a ceremonial or dress weapon rather than a combat one.
- Sword Weight: Approximately 1.9 to 2.4 pounds (around 0.86 to 1.08 kg) for the sword alone.
- Vintage item , New old stock. New in storage for years. In excellent condition.
