Luftwaffen Schwert by SMF - Solinger Metallwarenfabrik Stoecker & Co. of Solingen. These later aluminum examples utilized the new material, (aluminum) that the Luftwaffe designed all their airplanes with. This is a nice example. The scabbard retains its factory Moroccan blue leather perfectly matching the grip. There are a few wee pressure marks as one expects to see on original examples. The 30" plated blade is Mint- with some runner marks. The reverse is inspection stamped above the maker marked blade. The blade is seated through an intact pebbled blue leather washer into the solid aluminum crossguard. The pommel has nice hand enhancing to the edges. The grip is double wrapped with 2 springy aluminum wires. The original leather remains intact to the grip. It has a few pressure marks. There are some small marks to the scabbard leather but nothing that has damaged the 100% leather coverage to the shell itself which maintains it's dent free profile. The fitting are correctly retained with headless screws.
