Red Cross EM Hewer
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 reverse, not necessary but nice to see. The fit is perfect. The blade rates NM. It shows minor spotting and scratches throughout. The brown leather buffer pad continues to remain intact. The steel based black enamel painted scabbard looks great. It shows minor speckling throughout yet retains 97% paint coverage and remains completely dent free. The steel-based nickel-silver plated scabbard fittings look excellent. Only minor plating lifting spots to the lower obverse fitting. They match the hilt fittings quite well. All four scabbard screws continue to 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 oxidized steel screws. A nice example.
