Thoughts on my Luftwaffe Officer's Sword

[ChrisS]

Hey Gang, just wondering what your thought are on my Luftwaffe Officer's Sword by SMF. I need to get a better set up to take pictures of shinny blades.
As always, I appreciate your time looking at this!

Authentic Aluminum 1st Luft sword by SMF - IMHO.

It looks like a good one to me also, listed in period sources as a "Flyer's sword" this one looks like one of the government purchase/property examples. SMF also making them for the government with the earlier nickel silver mounts that were discontinued to conserve copper. FP

Form these photos looks like original and untouched aluminium Luftwaffe sword produced by Soligen Metal Fabrik during mid period.
I love to see some photos of scabbard screws.

Concur with the others, a nice aluminum SMF I have had a few of these over the years.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you everyone for the comments/insights! It is in overall great shape.

Condition is obviously excellent -- congrats on a beautiful example! The one thing that it's missing is the leather hanger to make it complete, and you should be able to locate one among the dealers.

Again, congrats!

I agree, nice sword.

It's very very very difficult to buy this leather hanger separately.
It's stitched to the scabbard ring.

I think I've never see one for sale alone...& the day you'll find it you'll be 100 interested for buying it
