Police NCO Degen by Clemen & Jung

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Swords > Police Swords

A great looking sword! The 29.5 inch blade on this one is in nice shape retaining its' matte finish. it has a solid fit and perfect tip! The stamped Clemen & Jung Solingen maker mark is the 1st example I've seen in a NCO. The blade rates Exc++. The buffer pad is lost to time. The steel based, black enamel painted scabbard looks good with some minor wear it remains completely dent-free and continues to hold 99%+ paint coverage! The upper scabbard fitting is steel based, plated. It shows nice details with a burnished interweaving design and textured backgrounds. It remains tightly secured with two screws. The steel based plated hilt and d-guard also remain in good condition with some minor wear/oxidizing and plating loss. I have not cleaned this. I leave this stuff as is. I would rate the hilt plating at 99%. The chip and crack-free hardwood black grip looks great. The zinc police eagle is tightly secured with some wear and oxidizing. The black burnishing to the cast ferrule wonderfully displays detailed oak leaves and acorns all hand worked. A solid piece your will be happy with!
