This example carries the trademark of W.K. & CIE. Solingen (Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co) (The history of the company Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie (W.K.C.) in Solingen began in the early middle-ages, when the trademark “Kingshead“ was registered by the blade smith Johannes Wundes in 1560. This trademark is one of the oldest registered and is still in use today) on the ricasso. The crossguard carries the number ‘6614’ as does the frog stud on the brass mounted leather scabbard. The blade has light staining consistent with its age. The wooden grips are in very nice condition. The leather, stitching and metalwork on the scabbard are all in good order.
