Early Luftwaffe Officer Sword [M1935] by WKC Solingen

This early Luftwaffe Sword [Air Force] has never been cleaned, and as a result the solid nickel mounts do show quite a bit of patination. Model 1935. The total length is 95.5 cm. The Sword has maker mark on the blade WKC Solingen.


Grip: The grip is a carved wood base, and is covered with a fine blue Moroccan leather. The grip is tightly wrapped with springy copper wire. The pommel is an excellent example, having no hits to the rim edges. The rim is stamped with a fine decoration of connected oak leaves and acorns, and it has the medallion insert style sun-wheel swastika. The crossguard has the same medallion inserts. The guard is the three section variety, which slopes downward and bears good, enhanced feathering.

Blade: The blade of this piece is a 72,0 cm example. It is a real beauty, being in stone Mint condition, with highest quality nickel-plated surfaces. It is marked on the reverse ricasso, “WKC Solingen”. The original blue leather blade washer is in place, in good condition.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell of this piece is straight throughout, and is also covered in Moroccan leather. The obverse of this scabbard is in fairly good condition, showing no scuffs to the leather, while the reverse, despite some age and signs of wear, is in a decent state. The scabbard mounts are the matching nickel-silver types, in good condition. They are retained by headless side screws.
