Late Luftwaffe Officer Sword [M1937] with expertise and etching on both sides
This late Luftwaffe Sword [Air Force] is in near mint condition. Model 1937. The total length is 96.0 cm. The blade is etched on both sides.
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. 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 75,0 cm example. It is a real beauty, being in stone Mint condition, with highest quality nickel-plated surfaces. 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 side screws.
