Personalized Army Lion-head with Triple Etched Blade

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Swords > Army Swords

Here's a super etched piece with beautiful handwork! The 31" blade on this one rates an NM. There is the odd surface scratch and a couple dots of age but that's about it. The heavily plated blade is really clean with no sharpening, pitting or stains. Guys as you might be able to tell I struggled to get good etch pics. The etch is stunning! This is well marked with a deep dark etched Paul Weyersberg trademark to the reverse. The original brown leather buffer pad remains intact. The black dent-free enamel painted scabbard is very nice with good paint, say 97%+. The throat is secured by two unturned dome head screws. The heavy solid brass hilt and P-guard are beautifully detailed with hand enhancing and lots of gilt! The Lion-head is huge, i actuallythought this was a Grosser size sword but not quite. Wonderful details here throught the mane with deeply inset ruby eyes. The languet features an open winged political style eagle. Peek at the back and you can see a beautiful Jeweler engraved "HE", the original owners initials. The black celluloid grip is near perfect. The brass triple wire wrap is nice and tight. Included is a nice Army portepee. This one's got it all!
