THIRD REICH ARMY OFFICERS SWORD BY ANTON WINGEN WITH RARE EARLY STYLE SHORT WING EAGLE AND SWASTIKA.

Early gilt brass hilt which still retains traces of the gilt finish. The black celluloid grip is in perfect condition. The crossguard features rare early type eagle with short pointed wings with excellent detail to the swastika, the backstrap is decorated with acorns and oakleaves. The blade is by Anton Wingen Solingen and shows some faint spotting but it is still very bright. The scabbard retains 95% black paint, it has possibly been re-painted in the past but if so a very long time ago and probably by the original owner. Exc++
