I'm just starting out so be gentle with me My first sword is an early Luftwaffe sword, really nice condition, by Paul Weyersburg. My second is a Weimar/Third Reich Naval sword that is depot marked O.987(sword/scabbard), no maker mark but has several Weimar eagle stamps. The condition on the naval sword is so-so but it was a decent deal I thought....here a couple of pics

That is a nice start. Welcome to the fellow addicts club.

Thanks Ritterkreuz....you aren't kidding about it being an addiction!

it`s an addiction for sure. Nice start.
You gonna go to the MAX show? Good place to see and learn.
I usually score a couple dandies!

Welcome from another sword collector!

thanks Tristan!

mrfabulous....unfortunately no, I cant make it to the MAX this year...I have a cruise coming up so I had to make a choice...Cabo or Pittsburgh?....real tough choice Going to try next year though.

Welcome to the forum, this a very good start. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing whatever else you might find. Best Regards, Fred

Good afternoon

Congratulations, these are 02 fine swords !!!

Early Luftwaffe are much better IMO, aluminium models really looks like cheap toys ...

Very Nice looking Swords

thanks Fred, Herr Zedem, and Bob.....I think I kind of prefer the swords, you get a lot more bang for the buck in my opinion. The hunt goes on!!

Herr Zedem, I know what exactly what you mean about the early Luft swords..there is nothing like uncleaned silver with the brass/gilted crosses peaking out.
