    Hi Guys! What do you think about this officer sword? On the blade has the Rudolf Buchel signature, the blade is burnished. On the guard there's a skull (totenkopf?) do you think it was added in the era or later? Who could she belong to? Thank you

    I agree with Ivan.
    Leather wrap handle, wire wrapping is too perfect, pitting and holes in the ferrule, etc.

    I think that sword is original, I have been collecting various swords for 10 years and I have several hundred of them, I am not convinced of "totenkopf"

    Rudolf Buchel was a small producer and few of their swords are out there. However this is not one, it is a fairly crude quality detailing reproduction, what someone has blackened to give a bit of "patina". As Ralph points out grip cover doesn't appear to be celluloid, which it should be. Photo of authentic one below;

    It's the first one of this type that I have seen. It looks to me like there is a new "player" (creator) in the bid for a share of the TR collector market for the "new and unusual". Who says that the 4th Reich is dead?? PS: Interesting animal skin grip covering - can anybody hazard a guess on where or what it is from? Best Regards, Fred

    Indeed Fred. The "black" looks like painted on patina. As for the blade, how often do we see a blade that has live in a scabbard so blackened as that? Usually if anywhere the blade retains it's original plated finish. Looks like a case of someone overdoing the aging.
