[Grade] E++ [Item #] DC285 [Description] 
Wehrmacht Officer's Dove's Head Sword by WK&C (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co.) of Solingen-Wald, Model 1058. This late period Army Officer's sword is listed in WKC's catalogue as model 1058 and considered a rare variation. The consignor purchased this beauty in North Carolina at the estate sale of US Veteran Carl Johnston. The aluminum hilt is in excellent++ to near mint condition and well preserved with 95% of it's anodized gold finish intact. The blade is outstanding with a bright mirror finish and faint scratches near the tip from being run in and out of the scabbard. The steel scabbard is straight and dent free with 80% of the period applied, lead base, black enamel paint intact. There's substantial age crazing through out which has caused some of the enamel to crack and flake away. There's some very light surface rust on most of the bare metal, but it's turned a dark brown with age and doesn't affect the overall value. This veteran acquired beauty has never been cleaned, tampered with, or circulated through the collecting community.
