ITEM #10514

#10514-RED CROSS ENLISTED HEWER WITH FROG: Nice example of the hewer carried by enlisted DRK members. The dull nickel-plated hilt, pommel and crossguard appear uncleaned with a fine looking DRK eagle on the front disc.. It has a checkered front grip plate in fine condition but sadly the reverse smooth grip plate is broken and lacking two cracked off sections due to an over tightness of the spanner bolts. The serrated blade is clean & bright with only very minor scratches. It is unmarked (as common to these blades)  except for the wording “Ges Geschutzt”  and complete with inset black leather washer, The scabbard is complete with its nickel fittings and retains about 95% of its original black painted finish. It has a few small scratches and some denting to the reverse. It is completed by its original DRK pattern frog of black leather having riveted construction and a coded makers mark dated 1941 on the reverse. The frog shows use with areas of wear and some light creases. A nice edged weapon that would certainly be well worth restoring. Condition II+/II- SOLD
