Post WW2 Alcoso German Lions Head Artillery Officer's Sword, sold

In very good condition, a post WW2 Alcoso German Lions Head Artillery Officer's Sword with portepee.

With the post 1940 Alcoso Trademark (AWS is for "Alcoso Werks Solingen"), this is a plain bladed German artillery officer's sword, scabbard and portapee.

The 31 inch blade with Alcoso Trademark is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The hilt also good, as is the grip and associated twisted grip wire bindings. Portapee (sword knot) with some fraying but good. The blackened steel scabbard in good condition. The sword sheathes and draws well.

A very nice, well above average example (in virtually parade ground condition). A great looking sword for just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference number W40 (1156). Further / full sized pictures available upon request.
