A highly desired piece among the collecting community! The blade on this one looks great. The acid etched "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" motto is nicely executed and contrasts the blade quite well! The crossgrain is easily visible for hilt to tip as you shine it in the light. It has a perfect tip and continues to hold a nice and tight fit! There is no maker mark and this is exactly how they were issued from the factory. The blade rates an Exc+/Exc++. It shows the common surface scratches, along with spotting/age greying throughout and one wee mark to the cutting edge. The steel based, black anodized scabbard body on this one looks excellent! It shows only minor marks from the chain and one small spot of oxidization spotting. It continues to remain completely dent-free and holds a dark black finish! The scabbard fittings look great! The lower is likely a replacement. It is solid nickel and non-magnetic where the others are steel based and nickel-silver plated. The ball remains perfectly round and all six screws remain intact. The chain is the later Type II variation that is steel based and nickel silver plated. The chain links show wonderful detail to the sculls and SS runes! It's really something when you can see each individual teeth to the skulls! The correct first upper link is clearly "SS" proof marked. The clip is slightly bent approximately 1mm and continues to work well. The scabbard to crossguard fit is perfect. The alloy based, nickel-silver plated crossguards are in nice shape! They show some spotting throughout yet retain 95%+ coverage. The black hardwood grip is near perfect and way better than most! There no cracks, chips or flakes! Very hard to find on these! The eagle shows some minor hits yet holds some detail. The SS roundel retains 95% of its enamel and has a perfect fit! Both have aged to a copper hue. This one also comes with a wonderful portepee! This is a great piece that I am sure you will be happy to have in your collection!
