SS NCO Degen With Hanger and Portapee.
The hilt of this SS NCO Degen is a nickel-plated type and it retains some of its nickel finish. All of the hilt parts are in a matte state. The upper pommel cap has the raised SS runes. The "D" guard which flows nicely to the quillon with teardrop ending has no imperfections but is all matte lacking the finish. The ferrule is the style having the six upward pointing oak leaves separated by acorns. The ferrule is in matching condition to the rest of the sword. The grip is in Quite Good condition with just Little paintloss.
The scabbard is straight throughout. There are much original paint left, but it has become matt, also some betterings and some slight surface rust here and there. The upper scabbard fitting is nice but matte. More or less none of the original blackening is still intact within the wotan knot. This mount is in Good condition being retained by two domehead steel screws on the bottom loop of each side. The opart has the SS marking to the top.
The blade of this fairly long example measures 84 cm. The blade is in OK condition, has a lot of runners and scratches, it also lost all it´s shine, it matches the rest of the sword. The blade is not makermarked. The leather washer is there but most certainly not the swords original one.
Included is a correct NCO portepee and a rare SS 233/40 marked teardrop hanger. Both in well used condition.
(many thanks to Emil.P for all the help with this one!)
