Re: SS officer's sword. Is it real?
Hi, and welcome to the forum!
From the limited images so far, I think this stands a good chance.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: SS officer's sword. Is it real?
Hi Milco Be cautious with limited photos,,as i have just a small doubt,, which could be nothing at all,, but it is necessary to contact the auctioneer to forward you more pics if possible........my concern is the Oakleaves roundel at the bottom of the crossguard...I have seen varied makers having the tips of the oak leaves touching the first lower rib of the grip and then some almost 1/4 inch away from the first rib.....this example has the Oakleaf roundel further away than normal,, but as we dont know who the maker is,, we can not compare it to other swords of the same distance.
Again just an observation,,but more pics would be best before you begin to bid. As Ade says it stands a good chance,, but photos are the best judge. Regards Larry

Thank You for the quick response. Are there any specific makers marks on these swords or other features that are on the originals and not the fakes like the SS acceptance stamp?

I contacted the auctioneer who called the consigner. He says it has no makers mark but that it was purchased from a dealer. Does the quality of the oak leaf detail compare to originals? so far the ones I've seen have a smoother texture to the leaves.

Re: SS officer's sword. Is it real?
Hi Milco,,It is hard to judge from the photos provided for the oak leafs have various makers and had slight differences in enhancing. On this sword there should at least have the Kulturzeichen ( double SS rune ) underneath the crossguard and on top of the scabbard throat opening. I know there are unmarked makers on these swords but the double runes not present has me cautious. Regards Larry

Re: SS officer's sword. Is it real?
I passed on the sword. there were no ss runes on the sword or scabbard. It appeared to have the age and quality manufacture but without the marks I wasn't comfortable with it.
Thanks for the help
