Luftwaffen Degen
Hello everyone,
I like to show you a Luftwaffen Degen 1. Form and I like to hear your opinion about it.
It is suppose to be a part original blade, allegedly it was broken before. The hand piece and the sheath are suppose to be original too, the sheath newly covered with leather, blade was renewed with a Solinger blade of the 50's and Portopee was added to it. Since I am unsure of this, I like to know what you guys think.
Thanks a lot!

It's a post war reproduction, or if impolite, a fake. You need to see the last thread started by "Thebryguy" "Incredibly rare Luftwaffe General...etc"
The WKC trade mark shown was not used on blades by WKC before 1945. As to the actual provenance, I suspect there is none but quite possibly this, like Thebryguy's example were made for Jim Atwood in the 1960's, if not an Indian creation. As for the portepee, it looks like one of the Jim Atwood creations as well.
I'm not aware of any evidence that the WKC prototype General sword was actually made before 1945. Goring decided he preferred the Eickhorn version.
