Very nice example of a uncommon model.
The little "slide" should be down at the bottom of the knot.

Thank you! Smile
That real nice to hear! What about the scabbard? the smal bump? should it be fixed or left as it is?

Nice swords gents !
Any ideas on the value of an SA sword - I may have the chance at a real one, not in brilliant condition but then genuine article with 'alles fur deutschland' on the blade ???

I recall one SA sword was sold on E-bay a few years ago, will try to see if I saved the final bid. Joe S
