German WWII DRK Red Cross Hewer-This is a handsome example of a DRK Hewer that would be used by medics in the field. The matte nickel silver plated fittings are 95% intact. There is some slight finish loss to the reverse of the pommel. The obverse of the cross guard bears an excellent oval medallion topped by a DRK-style German national eagle. The black bakelite grip plates are very good. One side is checkered, and the other side plain, just as they should be. Both sides of this grip are in very good condition. The scabbard paint is 90% intact, though there are a few slight scuffs and scratches, but this is not a distraction. The nickel silver fitting on the tip of the scabbard shows some damage, so please be sure to look closely at the photos. The fitting at the throat is very good. The polished steel blade has a blunted tip, serrated lower edge, and has fullers running most of the length of each side. This blade is in choice condition. There are a few in and out marks, but this blade is very good. It is interesting that it is marked Ges.Geschutz on the reverse of the blade, under the reverse langet. This is something we do not see very often, very interesting. This still has cosmoline protection on it. The thick brown buffer is still in place under the crossguard. This comes with a black patent leather frog that is also in very good condition. The frog is marked with the letter “H” stamped into the lower edge. This is a very handsome hewer!
