Helpt with prisoner official sword

[kmalla]

Hi All,

last one form that auctioneer that posted a lot of junck but I think this one is actually original. PLease give your opinion on this prisoner offical sword from WKC - I saw it being listed in the original catalogue of WKC.

Also in general, I have the feeling that a lot of swords are not being faked if you exculde fake ecthings - what are your thoughts on that too? So usually you are quite safe when buying sowrds below $1000 without an etch.



Best,
Kmalla

I agree with Kurt, this is a Justiz säbel. They are indeed faking these but this particular model as its value, of period, is well above $1000.

The knot is not for Justiz service, being for an Army, Feuerwehr or early SS sword, depending on what color is in the underside dot.
