WKC Lion Head Sword Authentication

[KurtMenliff]

Hello,
Another one with a different number ...




So far, i've seen half a dozen of these sabres and all bore a different N° ....
Could be a rack N° instead of a district ?
Never saw these sabres in a period catalog or in official III°R litterature books .... Rare cats indeed !!!

Rare and beautiful

Interesting that numbers are all range between 61-44. That doesn't seem very many if these are accountability numbers. Perhaps Districts are more likely?

Its sabre for DR higher beamte most real, the serial could be assigment nr. in that RBD.

LST had N°78 too ...
we haven't encountered two similar numbers so far... which would be logical IMO for districts numbers ....
Would all different ones possibly tend towards rack numbers instead ?

Hello to all

Here is mine with N° 44 ...








I tend to think that is a rack N° .... Did Reichbahn buy a certain amount of WKC1057 for parade / ceremony purposes ???
Very confiential production not even listed in the "official" III°R littérature ..

I agree if no two with the same number is found, it would suggest these are a rack/accountability number. With more research the answer may become clear.

Hello
I definitively would suggest a rack/accountability number.
Here is N° 44 now complete with the correct portepee.
