Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Sword-Helbig

These early quality Luft swords are such impressive items for display, hard to imagine carrying something of this weight around all day!
No damage to pommel or sun wheel swastica inserts, Moroccan leather covered grip complete with twin strands of twisted brass wire. Some minor loss of colour to leather, easily covered with “Meltonian” polish. Brass based crossguard has superbly hand crafted downswept quillions, and is stamped with the number “96”. This number is repeated on the upper scabbard throat. Blue leather washer is present beneath the crossguard. Bright blade is in fine condition without nicks or other damage. Lightly stamped to the upper reverse ricasso is the F & A Helbig logo. Scabbard leather is excellent having fine grain visible in the surface and with no damage to the seam. Attached to the upper scabbard fitting is a blue leather “crescent” hanger in excellent condition, and attached to that is a perfect example of the sword belt loop having a pebbled spring clip. This hanger is stamped with the makers name and “LBA” to the reverse.
Fine example of an early issue Sword.
