Hi Creig..welcome to the forum...to add to what LMG has stated........In general on all types of swords and daggers ,,the Crossguard and grip inlaid eagles..did signify a separation in Service branches both Political and non political types. In your photo...your Ernst Pack & Sohn is a desirable maker to own. IMO collecting the same type of sword with many variations from characteristics to producers is a great teaching and collecting tool. Regards Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

What also happened a lot is that the eagle style changed along the way.
You have the last E pack logo so its a later type sword, the eagle evolved a lot since the early hand enhanced/engraved types.
Cheers,

Thanks everyone for the info.
This one has really been a tough one to search. Not only are the eagles different on almost everyone of the E. Pack & Sohne swords I have looked at online, but there is a lot of difference in prices of the ones listed for sale online. I've had a few collectors tell me this one is worth $500-700 however the ones I see online are priced $900-3800. It really makes it confusing.
Of course I learned a long time ago that people can ask whatever they want for something online, it doesnt mean they will sell it for that much or its worth those amounts.
Anyone have a 'realistic' price for this sword?

Depends a bit on where you live.
In many parts of Europe, at least Holland and Belgium for some reason a sword is not that expensive.
You get lots of steel for a good price.
This one would do with present low market prices a 600-700 euro if it has a dent free nice scabbard.
Cheers,
Ger

Ger is right.
Also check the P guard,there is one rare and valuable pattern.
If you find a luftwaffe eagle on the P guard,then you have rare and valuable sword.
