An early Luftwaffe sword by SMF with a very nice looking patina! The metal fittings are very crisp in detail, with very little wear aside from the metal’s patina. All scabbard screws are accounted for and flush as they should be. The Pommel is just a tad loose (doesn’t line up 100% with the cross guard when tightened), but a well placed non-permanent shim would take care of it easily. The leather scabbard buffer is still present, but dry and flat…
2nd pattern Luftwaffe Sword by SMF, completely uncleaned, un-messed with and in beautiful overall condition! The metal fittings throughout are in excellent condition, with dirt and smudges being the main detractors. The leather of the grip is sound, with only one 1/8″ area appearing to be either caked on dirt or possible a scuff. Hard to tell even under a magnifier. The double-wrapped wire of the grip is 100% without flaw! The cross guard and pommel suffer only from dirt that can be removed if someone chose to do so. No obvious dents, dings, scratches or marks of any kind – just dirt! The Swastika coloring is 100% on the pommel and cross guard…
