A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF THE LONGEST SS OFFICERS DEGEN I HAVE OWNED!

A BEAUTIFUL LIONS HEAD SWORD IN GILDED ALUMINIUM BY CLEM & JUNG.
A really pretty looking officers sword as the hilt is bright, gilded aluminium. Clem &Jung were one of the few manufacturers who used the ‘new metal’ aluminium and put it to good use! Their gilding is VERY distinctive as it is so bright and strong. The lions head hilt is very nice indeed with very little signs of use and the gilding remains about 95% intact, with just a few high spots showing t... read more
