Doubt: eagle head orientation on sword guard - 09/07/2020 11:51 AM
Hello Guys,
I was looking at some swords and noticed differences in the orientation of the eagle's head in a specific type of guard.
The Wehrmacht eagle, in documents, helmet decals, insignia, has its head turned to the left. However, in some sword guards, I see the eagle turned to the right. For example, those from the manufacturer Weyersberg and some Eickhorn.
Is this right? Is this eagle not patented (ges. Gesch.)?
Best regards,
Schmidt
