King Otto's Saber Reproduction (94cm shamshir)

Handcrafted Reproduction of King Otto's Presentation Saber to Friedrich von Hohenhausen

An exceptional handcrafted reproduction of the celebrated Presentation Shamshir traditionally associated with King Otto of Greece and presented as an honorary gift to the Bavarian General Friedrich von Hohenhausen during the early years of the modern Greek Kingdom.

The original sword is recognized as a remarkable example of a 19th-century Presentation Sword, a ceremonial weapon created to honor distinguished military officers and high-ranking dignitaries. Combining elegant Persian-inspired lines with the lavish ornamentation of European royal craftsmanship, it reflects both the artistic refinement and historical significance of King Otto's reign.

The richly gilded scabbard is adorned with elaborate embossed floral and ornamental motifs, faithfully reproduced from the historic original. Its gracefully curved steel blade follows the classic Persian Shamshir profile, while the hilt and crossguard complete the sword's distinguished ceremonial appearance.

The original inscription identifies the sword as an official royal presentation from King Otto of Greece to General Friedrich von Hohenhausen, highlighting its importance as a symbol of honor, loyalty, and military distinction during the formative years of the Greek monarchy.

This meticulously handcrafted reproduction has been created with close attention to historical detail, making it an outstanding acquisition for collectors, museums, historical exhibitions, reenactors, and enthusiasts of 19th-century Greek and European military history.

Note: This item is a handcrafted reproduction of the historic presentation sword and is not the original artifact.
