WITTMANN SAYS IN HIS BOOK HE'S SEEN ONLY ONE SS NCO IN STAINLESS. THE RICASSO MARK'S A NICE TOUCH AS WELL; AND SO IS THE CONDITION ;--)

Interesting piece of steel. I do not know these type of collectibles- but i like what i see.

thanks trond. herr paul mueller had the run of the dachau forge I believe, and in addition to making damast sword blades for the heer and LW, he oversaw production of these for leaders and ncos in 'rostfrei.'

wittmann has a stainless ss-fuehrerdegen on his site now, also by mueller. the price is not for the faint-of-heart. but it's a beauty. cheers david

Hi Vady, by all accounts thats one rare Degen is there any history with it that you know of? is it true that there are only a handfull known pieces like this,
and thanks for showing,
cheers Ronnie

hi ronny & thanks.. your kinsman barry brown at WAF says TW sold one in the '90s, and in his book TW says he's only aware of just one in the world (likely that one?). I don't have the ownership chain of this sword. but it must be one of perhaps 3-4 in the world.

others also please chime in, thanks!

Hi David, I have taken the liberty of adding the extra pics to our post. It is a very nice rare sword and deserves a bigger audience.

Very hard to put a value on it?

Cheers, Ade.
