The friend I bought this from just purchased it a week ago direct from the vet in Cleveland, Ohio. He brought it back after the war as a souvenir along with a Luft 2nd pattern dagger, a German WW1 artillery sword and WW1 WKC bayonet. They were all in a closet forgotten about for many years. My friend purchased his coin collection, and I got the Luft and SA daggers.
