RARE Early SS Silver Lion Head Sword w/Original Felt Storage Bag. WKC, knight's head TM. A color photograph of this superbly detailed silver sword hilt appears on page 204 of Collecting The Edged Weapons of The Third Reich Volume I.

Silver-plated hilt fittings show light surface wear to the highlights with much factory darkening remaining in the recesses of the superbly detailed, cast lion head pommel with red glass eyes, backstrap with floral motif, raised oak leaf embellished knuckle-bow, ferrule and crossguard with hand enhanced open wing eagle and lion head quillon. Black celluloid grip shows minor surface wear with no cracks or chips and with triple twisted silver wire wrap present. Plain, plated blade measuring 34 1/8" in length grades EX/EX+ showing light surface wear/runner marks with surface scuffing to the lower obverse/reverse and several minor nicks to cutting edge.

Sword is complete with original rust/orange felt storage bag in EX+ condition showing minor surface with minor mothing and two cuts to the fabric on the upper reverse.
