SS Officer's Degen WKC

[hvm]

I have been offered an SS officer sword with some bad photos. I myself don't have a very good feeling about it, as I cannot find a similar sword in reference material. The points that I don't like are the motto on the sword, the SS logo on the handle and the SS runes on the end button. For example, if I compare the swords on Wittmann's website, they all look different. I suspect a bad reproduction, but I would still like to hear your experienced opinions about this sword.

Hello,

Let's sum it up just for info :

- A textbook SS degen officer's blad is either PD KREBS or unmarked ( PMD also but for late ugly Dachau types only )
- No SS runes on the pommel button : that is for polizei officers who also belonged in the SS... IF not awarded the SS degen, they could show they belong to the corps by switching the pommel button on their Polizei Degen.
- ABout the rest, everything is bad on that horror : Size and proportions of elements that make it / Material / Quality of handcrafting
Regards
K.
