Original German WWII Early Luftwaffe Officer Sword by Rare Maker F. & A. Helbig with Waffen Mark - Nickel Plated Blade MG 34 Accessories 1810-20 - converted cOriginal Items: Only One Available. This is a very nice early example of a German WWII Luftwaffe Officer's Sword, made by rare maker F. & A. Helbig, Messerfabrik (knife factory). Early examples such as this were fit with silver plated nickel alloy mountings, with lovely brass "Sunwheel" style Hankenkreuz (Hook Cross or Swas) emblems. Later they would move to the "Air Age" aluminum material, which didn't develop the lovely patina that this sword has.
