German WWII DRK Red Cross Hewer-This is the iconic example of a DRK Hewer that would be used by medics in the field. The matte nickel silver plated fittings are 95% intact. The obverse of the cross guard bears an excellent oval medallion topped by a DRK style broad winged eagle. The black bakelite grip plates are good. One side is checkered, and the other side plain, just as they should be. Both sides of this grip are in near excellent condition, though the checkered side has some slight rippling which may be caused by heat exposure. The scabbard’s black finish is 90% intact, though there are a few scuffs and a scratch on the reverse. The matte silver fitting on the tip of the scabbard and on the throat are in very good condition. The polished steel blade has the correct blunted tip, serrated lower edge, and has fullers running most of the length of each side. This blade is in very good condition. It does show some in and out marks from the scabbard runners. The thick brown buffer is missing under the crossguard. Again, this is in very sound condition.
