Description

FRIEDR. AUG. SCHMITZ, SOLINGEN and drum set TM. Ralph Siegert’s SA book rates this maker as a “6”, and the “McSarr” list rates this maker at an even rarer “9”. Nickel-silver hilt fittings show surface wear/age and green verdigris with reverse lower crossguard marked “Wf” for Westfalen. Medium reddish-brown, fine-grained wooden grip shows light surface wear but, no chips or cracks and with silver grip eagle and SA insert properly inset. Mirror polished blade grades EX+/EX++ showing surface wear/runner marks and very minor speckling with no nicks or cuts to the cutting edge. Deeply etched motto retains 99% of the light gray background frosting. Dent-free, steel scabbard retains approximately 98% of the brown anodization and 85% of the lacquer. Nickel-silver scabbard fittings show surface wear/yellow age patina matching the hilt fittings and no damage to ball. Unmarked early hanger grades EX+ with no rips or tears. EX+/EX++ (28823)
