Historical information about the Prussian cavalry broadsword of 1889:

This broadsword belonged to the officers of the 2nd Guards Dragoon Regiment named after Empress Alexandra of Russia, which was formed in 1815 and played a key role in Prussian cavalry units. The regiment was named after the wife of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II – Alexandra Feodorovna, born Princess of Hesse-Darmstadt, which emphasized the close dynastic ties between Germany and the Russian Empire.

The firm W.K.&C. (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie.), founded in 1883 in Solingen, was one of the main suppliers of edged weapons for the German army and officer corps. Its products were characterized by high quality of manufacture, application of advanced metalworking technologies and exquisite decorative elements.

Cavalry broadswords of this model were used during the First World War, but with the change in the tactics of combat cavalry gradually lost its role, and broadswords became items of ceremonial armament and symbols of officer’s valor.
