Wire wrapped leather covered grip. 24 ¾” broad fullered blade marked \u003cem\u003eA \u0026amp; A S\u003c\/em\u003e (August \u0026amp; Albert Schnitzler) and \u003cem\u003eMADE IN GERMANY\u003c\/em\u003e. Rounded tip to produce facial wounds which were sometimes stitched on a skew to produce an exaggerated scar which was viewed as a badge of honor. The blade is unusually short for these but the fuller stops well short of the tip suggesting correct original configuration. Perhaps for a specific variant of the duels, which were well structured for procedure and etiquette.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Gift Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48813760807155,"sku":"C7011","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0599\/2600\/files\/C7011C_24167c83-7b1e-4c02-8afa-9b89a86aaefa.png?v=1775653517","url":"https:\/\/historygiftstore.com\/products\/german-dueling-sword-schlager-c-1890-1920","provider":"The History Gift Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
