LW Sword Marker Rarity question
Dear friends

Well SMF produced the most. Theres a few weyersberg, david malsh, horster, eickhorn, helbig around though.
Rarest maybe alcoso? If you want to go silly rare then a Paul Muller version with Damascus blade.
Hope that helps, matty
How about WKC Waffenfabrik? Middle Field Ranking ?
Thank You Tom
Forget about that one. 😉
Yes very nice, not often seen.
SMF was IMO what we might now call a "primary contractor" to the Luftwaffe. And while Müller could have made some Damascus blades before he was contractually obligated to Himmler and the SS, is there some way we can tell his legitimate TR period blade making versus his well documented postwar blade making? Best Regards, Fredby matty01
Hi Fred, the really answer to your question is no. The only thing which seems to alter is the trademark and the lack of tang markings on the postwar examples.
However, looks like Mr/Sir Graig Gottlieb has sold one at some point which I thought looked pretty good.
Damascus Luftwaffe Sword, Paul Muller
The other Damascus Luftwaffe I know which is still for sale is here:
Wittmann Militaria #33823C Early Luftwaffe Officer's Sword with Damascus Blade
I wouldn't mind owning Tom wittmans to be honest looks a nice example.
best matty

I wont go over mad with photos Larry as I haven't asked tom's permission but here is a general gest.
In my opinion the EPACK is pretty rare
Hi Matty ..let me handle the fallout if any . Links will die eventually and the thread useless as you know. I do appreciate that you are respectful regarding Tom.I wont go over mad with photos Larry as I haven't asked tom's permission but here is a general gest.
But history and visible fact are a must
Regards Larry
