Luftwaffe Sword w/Hanger. Paul Weyersberg, Solingen, sword within wreath inside double-oval TM. This nice aluminum example was recently obtained from a long-established, advanced collection. The frosted aluminum hilt fittings retain 100% of the matte aluminum finish to the pommel and crossguard with 100% of the matte honey-gold wash remaining on the pommel and crossguard swastikas. The blue leather covered grip is perfect with no wear, rips or tears, and is complete with tight double aluminum wire wrap. The plated blade measuring 26 ¼" in length grades EX+/Near MINT, showing minor surface wear/runner marks, but no gray shadowing/speckling, pitting or nicks to cutting edges. Reverse blade is Waffen-Amt stamped with the number "6" inside a stick-figure eagle, and is complete with blue leather blade buffer pad. Dent-free scabbard shows minor surface wear to the blue leather covering, but no rips or tears and no damage to the seam. The leather surface has a slight "lumpy" appearance which is not uncommon to Luftwaffe sword scabbards, and is apparently caused by a break-down in the glue that was used to secure the leather to the scabbard shell. Dent-free, upper and lower aluminum scabbard fittings grade Near MINT, with virtually 100% of the frosting remaining, and are complete with all four, undamaged retaining screws. The integral blue leather, crescent -shaped hanger grades Near MINT showing virtually no wear or age and no damage to the stitching. EX++/Near MINT (26218) $1,750. SOLD
