This DRK [Deutsches Rotes Kreuz] Red Cross Enlisted Man's Hewer is in EXC+ condition throughout. Model 1938. The total length is 41.5 cm. Scabbard with 4 screws.

Grip: The hilt fittings of this example have good nickeling throughout. 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.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell has excellent original black paint. The paint shows some minor age, but overall it is about 90%. The lower nickel fitting is the pressed on type. The upper throat fitting is retained by two unturned domehead screws. There is a fine black leather frog attached. This frog has the usual 4-rivet construction, and on the reverse it is stamped “H”.
