What an nice example! The nickel-plated blade is very nice with clean edges a beautifully acid etched double oval "E. & F. Horster Solingen" trademark. It rates in at an easy NM. The fine blue pebbled leather washer remains in place. The satin aluminum fittings look superb! The swastikas are beautifully gilded and all matching. The fine grip is wood based and leather covered. The leather has good coloring and all the graining is there. It does show some wear to the high areas. This grip is wrapped with triple aluminum wire, the center being twisted for contrast. The scabbard shell is straight and true. The original leather covering is in nice shape! The scabbard mounts are produced of matching satin aluminum. These are in great condition and matching the hilt fittings. The mounts are retained with five headless, flush-mount side screws. The matching aluminum chain consists of 6 upper and 10 lower ringlets. The ringlets gather at the aluminum upper snap clip that is "OLC" marked. Nicely finishing this is a good portepee. Very nice example of an aluminum 1st model Luft that's never been cleaned or disassembled direct from Vet's family!
