A Model 1938 - Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Hewer für Mannschaften und Unterführer. The fullered, blunt tip, sawback blade on this one looks excellent. The crossgrain is easily visible and the sharp teeth to the sawback are in perfect condition. It is stamped “Ges. Geschützt.” to the obverse, not necessary but nice to see. The fit is perfect. The blade rates NM. It shows a few odd scratches and minor age. The black leather buffer pad continues to remain intact. The steel based black enamel repainted scabbard looks great. It shows minor wear yet retains 99%+ paint coverage. The scabbard fittings are nickel-silver based and plated. The bottom fitting has some plating loss. Both throat retaining screws remain intact. The zinc-alloy based nickel-silver plated hilt looks good. The oval DRK eagle and cross medallion on the crossguard has fine vaulting and nice detail. The correct bakelite checkered/smooth grip plates are in excellent condition. They are tightly secured by two steel screws.
