An ace in the hole! The blade on this one is a real treat! The acid etched "Alles für Deutschland" motto and "H. Herder Solingen" maker mark are both dark, crisp and beautifully executed! The crossgrain is easily visible all the way from the hilt to the tip. The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point! This blade rates in at an easy NM. It only shows the slightest spotting along with the common surface scratches. The steel based, brown anodized scabbard is beautiful. It shows the slightest spidering and scratches yet it remains completely dent free and retains 95% of its original factory laquer! Beautiful! The solid nickel scabbard fittings look excellent matching the crossguards in color and patina! The ball continues to retain its original round shape and all four scabbard screws remain tightly intact. The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked "He" (Hessen). The brown hardwood grip looks excellent! It only shows the slightest pressure marks and a minor hairline crack to the front and back at the top where the roundel is. No chips or flakes! The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 99%+ of its enamel. A beautiful piece all around!
