Monogrammed Third Reich SS Officer Candidate Sword-Holler

Hilt fittings show virtually no surface wear with no speckling, lifting or peeling. Officer pattern, ribbed pommel cap has superbly executed initials which appear to be “G S” intertwined. Plain D-pattern knuckle-bow/crossguard and superbly detailed oak-leaf/acorn ferrule are in superb condition. Ebony grip with silver wire wrap shows virtually no surface wear, chips, cracks or damage to the grip wire or backstrap.
The SS “Kulturzeichen” is stamped beneath the crossguard and is repeated on the upper scabbard fitting. Straight blade is in excellent condition with no damage to the cutting edge and very few signs of age. The Holler “Thermometer” trademark is stamped to the ricasso. Blade is complete with leather washer beneath the crossguard.
Dent free black scabbard retains 85per cent of the factory finish having some crazing and minor loss of finish in several places. Complete with upper and lower fittings which are undamaged and retain their factory darkening.
A fine example from an unusual maker.
