Yea. Really farout. I have never come accross one before. Nice!

Let's relate this to value now. As we had previously discussed school marked/unit marked pieces affecting value. I'm sure there are make specific collectors out there. What would this super rare Luft sword maker fetch and what would it do the value?

Difficult to say, maker marks don't determine value on luft swords in the way they do on ss/sa daggers etc, but having said that I'd certainly pay that bit more for an item like the one Mark posted, and flight school markings/names certainly add extra. I think dutchknive is about right, I'm sure dealers may choose to argue differently.

Funny to see. ALCOSO used the same cupper inserts as TIGER.

Dutch,
You're referring to the copper pommel/crossguard button sun wheel disc inserts, right?

Tom

Yep Joathan. I owned an early TIGER, that was the normal kind, but i have a late war one, having the copper medals.
