Grumpy:
I just checked and the fittings(grip etc) are magnetic. The etch is very crisp and IMO up to German sword standards. I wish my picture taking ability was better.
Dale:
This is one of the reason(oak leafs) I thought it was a Dachau piece. It's truly unfortunate that a PDL catalogue has never surfaced.
Theres one addition point I'd like to make. The sword,particularly the scabbard, show genuine signs of use. Some of these can be very subtle. I would be glad to provide a hands on examination to anyone on the Forum If you're ever in the area.
