Artillery lionhead sabre, marked “Gew (?) vom Stammpersonal”
This lionhead sabre is a WKC made example, dated to 1937 by the inscription on the blade. What’s confused me is the rest of the inscription, as I speak no german.
I think it says Gew. Vom Stammpersonal, but I’m not sure on the "G". It could be a "B".
Anyway, it proceeds to say
"17 (?) R 84"
followed by
"27 1 1937"
Has anyone seen a panel like this? Anyone able to read it better, translate it? I’m guessing the "17 (?) R 84" is regimental, and the "27 1 1937" is the presentation date. I have no idea what "gew" is an abbreviation for.
