Red Cross Enlisted Man's Hewer - Ges.Gesch.

The hilt fittings of this example have good nickeling throughout. Even the edges of the pommel and crossguard still have full plating. Only the both side panels are restored (see pictures). The crossguard oval depicts a half open-winged eagle, looking to the viewer’s left, having a mobile raised swastika on has breast, and clutching a cross in his talons. Excellent detail here. The reverse grip is smooth type, and the obverse grip has the checkered finish. Both are a bakelite and both are in perfect condition. The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell has excellent original black paint. The paint shows some minor age, but overall it is about 95%. The lower nickel fitting is the pressed on type. The upper throat fitting is retained by two domehead screws. The blade of this example is still nice and bright and does have all of its crossgraining. It is equipped with the blunted tip and the sawback spine. This blade is marked on the reverse Ges.Geschtzt. The blade has a few mild age signs in the surfaces but it has never been cleaned. The original black leather blade washer is in place.
