A real treat when these rare ones come around! This one rates 10 out of 10 for rarity on McSaars SA rarity rating list! The blade on this one is nice and bright. The acid etched "Alles für Deutschland" motto and maker mark are both crisp and beautifully executed! The blade has been cleaned at some point but traces of cross grain remain. The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point! This blade rates Exc+/Exc++. It shows spotting throughout and the common surface scratches. The steel based, brown anodized scabbard looks excellent. Check out the original factory lacquer on this one! 80%+ intact! It shows three wee oxidization spots. What I like about this scabbard most is you turn it in the sun and it has that attractive copper hue. The solid nickel scabbard fittings look excellent matching the crossguards in color and patina! The ball remains perfectly round all four scabbard screws remain tightly intact. The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked "P". The light brown hardwood grip looks excellent! It only shows the common pressure marks throughout. No cracks, chips or flakes! The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains all of its enamel. A rare one missing from most collections!
