SS NCO Degen with SS-Knot & Hangers by Pet. Dan. Krebs Solingen

The SS NCO Degen with SS-Knot & Hangers is in EXC++ condition. The nickel plated parts are in excellent condition and show little age.

Grip: The "D" flows nicely through the crossguard area and ends in a teardrop quillon. The lower ferrule is decorated with six standing oak leaves separated by acorns. Both the leaves and the acorns have feine details and are nicely hand-enhanced. The pommel cap is the flatter NCO type. On the top is a fine set of raised SS runes which retain complete background darkening. There is no sign that this cap has ever been removed. The ebony grip is a very fine, high quality example, remaining in perfect condition. Some of the original lacquer remains in the recesses. Wrapped about the hilt of the sword is a SS NCO's troddel.

Blade: The blade is a very fine example in near mint condition. It has a standard matte finish and measures 84 cm long. There is a leather blade washer in place. Blade with maker mark Pet. Dan. Krebs Solingen.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is straight throughout. The original paint shows some wear but remains at least 95% intact. The finish retains a bit of shine as well. The lowe chape is the style that is built into the shell, somethig we see on NCO swords. The upper scabbard mount is in the "Wotan's Knot" configuration. It looks as though much of the darkening has worn from this knot, although it may not have been there in the first place. There is also some age on this mount but it could be cleaned up with a little effort. It is retained by a pair of dome head screws, one in each of the lower loops.
