WH Sword

Hi I would ask for verification of the authenticity of the sword, I will add that the handle is made of aluminum

I do not like the crossguard, especially eagles head.
But I'm not 100% sure.

Sincerely respect

Thank you for your expression. I still question whether the sword is original?

[DR DOLCH]

I don't like the looks of it. With the new reproductions being produced it's buyer beware!

[Nordwind888]

Try to compare with your sword.


Sincerely respect

Puma sword

That sword is right as rain. As far as I know and seen, this model was made only in aluminum. Anodizing color varies a bit.
You can CAREFULLY pop the backstrap off and fix the grip wire.

Those more recent Puma fakes I remember seeing use an etched motto - not stamped. Some of the swords from fairly well known makers who did not really make a lot of swords are less familiar to collectors when compared to a maker like Eickhorn, so they can cause some doubts. With some of those from Voos for example having some characteristics that at a casual glance might look fake, but are not. The sword here (with the pictures posted) to me seems to look more like gold plating over aluminum, although maybe it's the lighting?. But there is no question that color anodizing is seen with some swords. With that said - I give it a ......... . FP
