LUFTWAFFE FORESTRY BAYONET / SIDARM BY WAFFEN LOESCHE BERLIN.
This is an extremely rare Third Reich sidearm, in over 30 years this is only the 6th example I have owned. Hermann Goring formed a forestry service to manage Luftwaffe forestry reserves close to air force instillations and also his own hunting estates such as Carenhall and it is believed that these rare sidearms were carried by the members of this very small elite forestry organisation. These sidearms resemble a bayonet but they do not have a fitment for attachment to a rifle so they can only be used as a hunting knife or parade sidearm. fine quality staghorn grip plates are in perfect condition and are held in place by three screw fittings. The simple steel crossguard is issued stamped 171. The blade is very nice just showing some faint age marks but it is still extremely bright, the obverse side is stamped CH.A.W and the reverse side is marked Waffen Loesche Berlin, the spine of the blade is stamped with the letter H. The scabbard still retains at least 95% original scabbard paint. Complete with a very nice Luftwaffe brown leather frog, the reverse side is stamped L.B.A , there are some other stamps but these are difficult to make out now. A rare Luftwaffe sidearm in extremely nice condition. Exc++
