Here's one we got in from an advanced collection. The blade on this one has pitting and has been cleaned hard washing out the motto somewhat. There is some black stuff in the pits. The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit is nice and tight! The blade rates VG/Exc. The dent-free scabbard is steel based with black enamel paint. The paint is worn scratched and crazed. The solid nickel scabbard fittings have been cleaned and look good. The screws are all present and the uppers are replacements. The lower has some bruises and the ball is intact! The scabbard / crossguard fit is good and closes with a snap! The solid nickel crossguards have wear that is consistent with the rest of the piece. The reverse of the lower crossguard is district stamped III and serialized 147920.

The guy made it to SS-Unterscharführer and was in the LAH and Totenkopf. Small SS Enlisted file but no Stammkarte. No photo. Does not turn up on the KIA.

  • So Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler is likely to most famous SS unit of WWII, the details and name are there for your research if you want to do that. The black hardwood grip looks good. It has a single fine hairline crack running up from the roundel and some flakes wee hits and dents. All what you would expect from a period example that was worn. It continues to retain a nice and smooth black finish. The solid nickel eagle retains nice detail and has a perfect fit! The SS roundel retains its enamel and also has a perfect fit! If you've been seeking an affordable researchable example here you go...
