Sal,

Ahh, a shame. Beautiful piece nevertheless, great patinaed fittings. Congrats man.

Sal,

Very nice Luft, I especially like the inventory number. Is the scabbard similarly marked?

That's an early Weyersberg. Top Quality 1st Luft maker.
There is a theory I'm working on regarding early Weyersberg's. Don't want to get into the whole thing here but there is a chance that the blade tang and or
the pommel maybe stamped with that number.

But don't take it apart just to satisfy my curiosity.

Keep it just like this...It's a beauty. Congrats!

Nice looking early silver-nickel 1st Luft. Appears to be complete with the heavy brass sun disc inserts.

I can only echo the sentiments of my collecting brethren. Disassembly, and cleaning can damage a piece. I agree fully with Bill. Leave her in her current condition. I don't see any pressing issue which would require disassembly, etc.

Congrats,
T
