Picked this one up today indrectly from the vet with an SA and 1st Luft. It has been lightly sharpend and there is siome lifting to the hilt but the scabbard is almost 95% paint left and the motto is still nice and clear. Tough little bugger to find these transitionals with the motto.

Than ks Herman, here are a couple more pics of it. Tough one to find but the condition isn't the best but it's still a good collectible one and not totally shot.

Hello Fritziii,

An nice uncleaned blade, I like that and would leave it as it is!

The corrosion on the hilt on the other hand, I would gently try to remove or neutralise, because the rusting might continue.

Best greetings,

Herman

Thanks Herman. It's a decent one but I'm going to let it go along with the luft, needs to find a good home.

Fritziii
