Hey guys. I'm considering letting this piece go and was wondering if you all could help me classify and put a value to some aspects I am having trouble with. First is the composition, the fittings are heavy but it was originally sold as being of aluminum construction. Thee cross-guard is silver frsoted with lots of it remaining while the pommel is missing almost all the frosting.The swastika has very faint remanants of Gilding on all four with one on the cross-guard displaying a little more. There are very small amounts of the "green" patina if i look hard into the cracks of the cross and pommel? Is it nickel? I think the fittings on the scabbard must be with their patina. Also, the Klaas mark is very small and not super deep. The blade is in decent condition. The maker marked side is great condition with no spotting but the front side has spotting of oxidation all down the blade, both sides though, display a nice crossgrain and it has no chips, no knicks, and the tip is perfect. The handle has 100% of the leather and the scabbards leather is near perfect as well with 2-3 very small abrasions not really visible. The Chain hanger is composed of uncommon rings that I don't see often as well as the DRGM and the other mark below that on the clip.Thanks for the opinions, any ideas on pricing?
