Franco Prussian era sword
18 October 2020
Description

According to my family the sword I was given was from my ancestor Christian Beringer whom supposedly fought in the Franco Prussian war in the unification of Germany, it has text on the blade that refers to an old saying by the kingdom of Prussia, meaning steadfast loyalty as well as firm in fidelity, as far as I can tell “in treue fest” is the only adornment to the sword aside from a sword knot hanging off the handle.
