German WWII Red Cross Hewer-This is the iconic example of a DRK Hewer that would be used by medics in the field. This is gorgeous. 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 German national eagle. The black bakelite grip plates are perfect. One side is checkered, and the other side plain, just as they should be. Both sides of this grip are in near excellent condition. The scabbard retains 95% of the original black enameled paint. The scabbard is very good though there are a few slight scuffs but this is not a distraction. The nickel silver fitting on the tip of the scabbard and on the throat, are untouched and also near excellent. The polished steel blade has the 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 about as nice as they get. The thick brown buffer is still in place under the crossguard. This comes with an unmarked leather frog that is also near excellent.  This is a very handsome hewer!
