Tell your friend that fakes of the Luftwaffe sword do exsist. I have seen them for sale and sold as fakes. Made in India and sold in the UK.

Sorry I cannot help on values.

Cheers, Ade.

Can be picked up on the net for usually $75-100.

If you're inquiring about original swords, a nice one will run you in the vicinity of $1,000.00 US. Condition can easily drive the price up or down $200-$300.

I have no idea of the value of a repro...never seen one to my knowledge but, then, I haven't been looking. Once they started faking black wound badges, though, I'm pretty sure they've faked everything else.

Hope that helps
