I am considering trying to purchase this SMF Luftwaffe sword and was hoping to get some confirmation on what I have been trying to piece together about it. Looking at the pommel, it appears to me to be an early nickel silver example, but then looking at the rubbing marks in the patina of the quillon block, I wasn't so sure. Can anyone confirm that one way or another? Of course the leather suspension isn't in great shape, but otherwise it appears to me to be original and in reasonable condition. Does anyone see any red flags that I am missing or have any thoughts they think I should consider?
Thanks for the help!
Chris
