Original era manufacture. Standard WWII German Army Officers sword with a lion headed pommel displaying red glass eyes. The chrome finished steel blade measures 31 inches in length, no corrosion issues to the blade surface, really very clean, no nicks or sharpening. Paul Seilheimer logo on the ricasso. The blade runs fairly straight and true with a slight drift to the left along it's length. Ornate, gilded brass guard and lion head pommel with red glass eyes, most of the original gilding remains. Black plastic wrapped grip, which is bound with triple strand wire. The sword and guard are tight. Black painted dent-free steel scabbard with both throat screws in place. This might be an old repaint but done a while back as it has it's own patina on the surfaces. Nice clean sword.
