Condition report: The ebony grip clean and free from damage. Fine nickle-silver and black enamel Runes eye, along with nickle-silver eagle/swastika. Both emblems fitted well to the grip. A clean screw top, but some light marks show the nut has been undone in the past. Blade in overall very good to excellent condition with much crossgrain still visible. The moto rermaining particularly clear and sharp, with much blackening left. The reverse shows clear evidence of a three line inscription, now erased. The blade has been sharpened, probably at the time the inscription was erased, and this has led to the length being shortened by sharpening.

Scabbard with approximately 80/90% black paint remaining. An overall pleasant appearance, and free from adverse pitting, but one small crease to the scabbard shell on the obverse. Slight dent to base of bottom ball. All screws present.

Notes: The three line inscription erased, buit just about visible in places. Seems to suggest the recipient was an SS-Sturmbannführer, and was with SS-TK Inf.Regt.1.
