The scabbard has a secure belt loop attachment, allowing it to be easily carried by soldiers. The craftsmanship and materials used ensure that the sword and scabbard remain in excellent condition even after decades.
Commissioned by the Argentine government during a period of military modernization, these short swords were produced to high standards in Solingen, a city renowned for its superior blade manufacturing.
