Personalized SS Officers Honour Degan

Rare to find a personalized example. These were authorized for wear personally by Himmler and ownership required a certificate. Each one was, upon being awarded, duly noted in the SS Diensltersliste and became a part of the owner's service record along with his other awards and citations. This umarked example was most likely made by Krebs. The 31" blade rates an Exc. The blade has age, scuffs and stain but no sharpening and retains a nice smooth edges. The buffer pad remains. The 32" undented scabbard shows wear and the lower fitting has oxidation. The ring is missing. I have not tried to clean. It has some age spidering a few minor scrapes. The fittings are secured with the correct unturned dome-head screws. Both the top scabbard fitting and the D guard are SS proofed- not necessary, but always nice to see. The grip is composed of 13 ribbed sections being separated with its original wire wrap. The nickel SS runes button is correctly burnished to the backgrounds and set into place. Note the button placement, it's just after the fifth rib this is exactly where it should be! The wood is all intact but suffers normal period wear and paint loss. The ferrule has nice hand enhancing and is burnished to the backgrounds. The steel pommel is intact. The top fitting has a nice Jeweler engraved personalization, "E.ST. 12324" SS-Obersturmbannführer Ewald Ströhm, Born 2.2.09 Duseldorf Died 27.10.51. There is more to learn online. Nicely finishing this is a worn and well patinaed early bullion officer portepee. This is a nice SS Officer Degan you will be proud to own!
