ITEM : SW214 - ALCOSO Unattributed Dove Head Officers Sword
This unattributed
model sword by Alcoso is scarce due to the fact that both the
obverse and reverse langets bear an identical sprig of oak
leaves and does not carry the national symbol of the Third Reich
period. The fittings retain much of the original gilt and is
heavily chaste especially down the length of the backstrap. The
celluloid grip material does have a split in the usual place due
to shrinkage over time and the blade although it has all of the
original plating intact with no tarnish or grey, it does have
fine scratches affecting both sides as though it has been used
to cut a hedge!. It has not been sharpened.
