A distinguished example of aGerman WWII Heer Officer’s Dress Sword, this piece features a dove-headed brass hilt with a pleasing aged patina. The blade, markedE.W. Holler, Solingen, is partially concealed behind the languets, making the maker’s mark a bit hidden. The medal is maker-marked "IW" for Iohann Wagner & Sohn
The nickel-plated steel blade exhibits a gray patina and scattered blemishes, while the black wire-wrapped trylon grip remains intact with a single crack. The black-painted steel scabbard has areas of fading, abrasions, and minor dents, consistent with standard wear, including the crimping often seen from getting caught in train doors.
Specifications:
Material: Steel blade; brass and Bakelite hilt; leather sheath
Design: Brass elements on the hilt adorned with leaved branches and the Reichsadler
Good – Noticeable wear from age and use but remains structurally sound. Considered average condition for most collectibles and memorabilia. Minor imperfections or signs of handling may be present but do not detract from the overall integrity of the item.
