A German Second War Kriegsmarine Officers Sword.
The Kriegsmarine officers sword was available in private purchase form as well as ordnance issued. The private purchase form had a very good etched blade with floriated patterns and fouled anchors and at the base battleships flying with flags having the swastika within the flag, this is the only way of identifying these swords as Third Reich period, these swords were only produced by the Company WKC, as this example. The original thick washer is still intact, gilding toned overall to all of the fittings. Celluloid grip undamaged with some strands of the grip wire loose. The lion’s head is with red and green imitation ruby eyes. The folding front langet with fouled anchor, the reverse langet sprung loaded, working correctly. The scabbard to the leather is excellent. The rivet holding the lower scabbard mount to the leather is missing, very good condition £800-£1,200
