LUFTWAFFE OFFICERS SWORD BY SMF.
This is a very nice early nickel silver example. Fine detail to the nickel silver pommel and crossguard which are inset with the brass swastika disks. The blue leather grip is in perfect condition. The blade is in mint condition and it is maker marked SMF Solingen and it is also stamped with a Luftwaffe acceptance stamp.

THIRD REICH DEUTSCHLAND ERWACH RALLY BADGE.

ARMY OFFICERS SWORD BY WKC WITH VERY EARLY STYLE EAGLE AND UNUSUAL GREEN EYES.
This is a very interesting early sword with some unusual features and dates from 1934 - 1935 period. The crossguard features the rare early style eagle with short pointed wings, the lions head hilt is unusual as it is fitted with green glass eyes rather than red. This model sword by WKC was carried by the SS and it was WKC SS model number 1016 (Wittmann\'s SS book page 306) but if the sword was carried by the SS it would probably be silver rather than gilt. The swords lions head hilt is fitted with green glass eyes and many SS lions head swords are also fitted with green eyes. The German customs service also carried a lions head sword and there swords also often have green eyes. So there are several possibility\'s to which service this sword was carried by but in my opinion it was probably the army or the Customs service. The black celluloid grip is in perfect condition. Fine detail to gilt brass lion head hilt and the detail to the short wing eagle is exceptional, the back strap of the sword is very ornate. Mint plain blade by WKC, the makers mark is difficult to see as it is under the crossguard but it is there. Black painted scabbard shows light wear, it might have been re-painted but if so certainly a long time ago and probably by the original owner, it is difficult to say for sure as it is so good. A very interesting and rare sword. Exc++
LUFTWAFFE OFFICERS SWORD BY SMF WITH HANGER.
This is a magnificent very early example that has never been cleaned and has a very attractive age patina but could be cleaned if required. All metal hilt fittings are dark with age with excellent detail to pommel and crossguard swastikas. The blue leather grip is in perfect condition. The blade is by SMF and it has a waffen amp mark close to the makers trade mark, the blade is in mint condition. The scabbard is also in fine condition and the fittings have a matching age patina, the blue leather is in perfect condition. Complete with leather moon type hanger. An exceptionally nice sword. Near mint condition.
LARGE ADOLF HITLER BRONZE BUST SIGNED BY ARTIST.
This is a superb life size example. Fine quality bronze bust with excellent detail with a nice age patina. The reverse side is artist signed, Ferdinand, which is probably for Ferdinand Liebermann (1884-1941) a well known artist who produced a number of different bronze busts of Adolf Hitler. The bust is mounted on a black plinth, the plinth is a latter addition but it does have age and compliments the bronze bust perfectly, I have left the screw fitting slightly loose so it can be removed if required. Please note that this is a very heavy item to mail so there might be extra postage costs to what is quoted on the invoice, this will depend on the destination. Height on plinth 15 inches or 38cm.Exc++
