Bertram rein. Ss-dienstdolch

Very tip gone and tired (prob'ly cleanable) blade, honest wear overall.
'been there' or whatever...

*but*

it's a rooster-n-hen; got p.a.' marked nickel guards, nice fitting grip w/a little side play from shrinkage, 'domed' rune button;

and painted spider'd scabbard that, however, fits bottom guard perfectly - which i wouldn'd expect with an early piece.

Comments please, and a fair 'stand price range.

Thanks mametz - yes it seems t/b sinking into the wood along with the rune button . Becoming as one with the grip... ' nature has its way.'

Very cool "Chicken" . . . OK - consequently, it is not of "5-Star Hotel" quality . . . but IMO, any such "Chicken" in-hand is a good thing! All kidding aside, finding these are kind of like hunting for hen's teeth . . .

[inimicus]

Thanks n.c. - and, could be yours! See the 'stand...
