A Model 1938 - Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Hewer für Mannschaften und Unterführer. The fullered sawback blade on this one is nice. The crossgrain is easily visible as you turn it in the light. The sawback teeth are sharp and in perfect condition. There are a few dots from where the runners rested. The fit is perfect. The blade rates a Exc++ The brown leather buffer pad continues to remain intact. The steel based black painted enamel scabbard looks excellent. It continues to retain 98% paint coverage and is dent-free. The plated scabbard fittings look good. This was dropped at some pint as there is an impression to the botton that has pushed the fitting up a few mm tilting the lower screws. The lower fitting has lost about 40% of it's finish. The screws continue to remain intact. The hilt is alloy based nickel-silver plated. The Third Reich red cross medallion to the front crossguard has fine vaulting and detail! I would say 99=8% of the plating is intact to the hilt. The correct bakelite checkered/smooth grip plates are in perfect condition! They are tightly secured by two steel screws.
