Luft. Survival machete

[georgecl]

Just picked this up last nite.
Craigslist find.

Alcosco maker mark no other marking i can see.

Brass handle and crossguard.

Blade is OK the darking looks like old grease or oil stains

couple nicks.

Scabbard is a repaint over the blueing.

If you could give me a value I will be selling this off!


Thanks
George

I had one in similar condition a few years ago. i sold it on ebay and got £735GBP.
Scarce item but no one seems willing to spend at the moment.

Scarce to say the least but not a wide interest IMO.

Some variations found including steel handle frame, saw-back, commercial ACS trademark and police acceptance marking. In spite of photo evidence of LW use, I have yet to see a LW accepted piece.
