The Saxon Beamtendegen served as the rank weapon of senior civil officials in the Kingdom of Saxony. The fire-gilded hilt in Rococo style and the elaborately blued and gilded blade indicate a piece of superior craftsmanship. The firm of Osang in Dresden is documented as a manufacturer of edged weapons and military equipment, active into the 20th century. The applied Saxon coat of arms on the shell guard underlines the official character of this sword. Mother-of-pearl grips and fire gilding indicate a high-quality execution.
