VINTAGE MINIATURE SWORD AND SHEATH - CAN BE USED AS LETTER OPENER

Description

VINTAGE MINIATURE SWORD AND SHEATH - CAN BE USED POSSIBLY AS A LETTER OPENER
This miniature sword was used by an uncle many years ago as a letter opener.  It is quite a unique collectible piece of memorabilia.  Though the uncle was in the Navy, we believe this to be a miniature version of a World War I Imperial German Army Officer sword.  This miniature sword is in near mint condition.
The sword itself measures about 9" from the tip of the sword to the top of the handle.  The sheath is approximately 8" long.  The cord at the top of the sword we believe to be threaded brass and is about 4" long.
There is a shield imprinted on the top of the sword blade, near the handle, and the word Germany on the other side of the blade.
The collecting of miniature swords and daggers has had a wonderful place in the history of collectable memorabilia. This sword would be a spectacular addition to that collection or as a conversation piece or even as was done for years, a great letter opener.
Please feel free to make an offer.  All offers will be considered.
