Excellent example of a Luftwaffe Officers Paul Weyersberg Sword in aluminum. These are starting to become somewhat difficult to find. The swastika in the pommel and crossguard maintain their factory gilt gold. Pommel is correctly hand enhanced with wee oak leaves and acorns. Impressive to see all the fittings on the sword to have traces of the original lacquer that has turned a very nice light honey amber color. The springy double wire-wrap on grip is complete. The correct blue buffer pad is intact and complete. The blade measures 71 centimeters. The plated blade has most of its original luster with speckle spotting throughout the blade, showing the typical surface scratches and runner marks. Nicely etched Weyersberg makers mark with inspection stamp above. The scabbard’s body is covered in a lovely original blue Moroccan style pebbled leather which has a few rub and pressure marks as you would expect. The four correct headless scabbard screws are present and tight with no signs of turning or removal. The fit of the sword remains nice and tight! Unfortunately the hanger is lost to time. This Luftwaffe Officers Weyersberg Sword is a very impressive piece made by one of the premiere edged weapon makers of the Third Reich, and is a very fine and desirable piece of military regalia.
