[evilmike]

Hi Chaps iam plotting taking this down to the War and Peace Show in Kent, what should i ask or hold out for, no doubt a dealer will try and hoover it up but i'am not on the ball with current prices they seem to be from £800 to 2000 online

Any ideas?
Cheers!

Yes definitely cleaned, and leather on the grip and scabbard is also cleaned and coated.
Sad, it was a gorgeous sword.

The woodwork

Things get cleaned and buffed-up both in and out of the woodwork. Woodwork buffing is usually the worst kind. The unsuspecting woodwork person thinks the shinier it gets the more money its worth.

Mike,


Several members have moved over to the WRF, i guess its dead because of the Trolls


The sword looks good apart from the cleaning but it will dull down thru time imo.

The patina will come back naturally all silver tarnishes , It still has the leather hanging piece which is the most important thing with Luftwaffe swords . If you go to the dagger forum they all spend hours polishing up their daggers to say this sword is ruined is ridiculous . Personally I would put it on the stand at £750 if it does not sell for that lower it . Rob

Believe me, It's a wonderful piece and If I didn't already have 20 of them I'd buy that one too !
