LUFTWAFFE OFFICER'S SWORD
Luftwaffe officer's sword with nickle-silver fittings. The fittings on this example, though tarnished, still exhibit good detail showing largely only surface wear: the feathering on the cross guards is very good, as are the swastikas on the pommel and cross guard. The pebbled blue leather grip is excellent, and the double-twisted wire-wrap is secure and tight. The Paul Weyersberg & Co. marked 27 1/2" blade retains almost all of its original mirror-like finish but for average running marks and a few tiny spots of oxidation. The blue leather-covering on the scabbard is faultless, its fittings bear light surface scratches commensurate with use. The grip and leather covering to scabbard may have been professionally repaired or replaced at some point in time.
