Is the sword above an original? Is it a good deal?

The sword is good , the price is not exesive!Try to get it, at that price, all costs included.

[DarkEagle]

it is not expensive.. raither cheap for that kind of swords.

Both swords are good. While the price sounds "OK" it is worth shopping around if you are buying a Heer Officers sword. They are not rare and can be found in lots of different patterns. As always, go for the best condition item you can afford.

Cheers, Ade.

I was thinking about buying this sword, but I am no expert so I am going to run it by you guys to see if it is a good buy.

Is anything wrong or not original to it?

Here is the sellers description:
"Original era manufacture. Eickhorn pattern No.1714, Freiherr von Stein. Gilded brass guard & pommel, both decorated with an oakleaf decoration. On the left langet may be seen an Army pattern eagle clutching a swastika. The blade is quite bright and clean and is fairly straight, very slight bend towards the tip. Black plastic covered wooden grip with bright silver plated copper, 3 strand wire wrapping. The undented steel scabbard shows a black paint finish with numerous little chips to the surface. Shows normal wear and use."

I beleive the sellers description is correct going by Angolia's "Edged Weaponry of the Third Reich"
