Description
You are bidding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Survival Machete! Issued with the aircraft survival kits, it was standard for pilots and crew members who served in Tropical climates. It also comes complete with the original scabbard!
Made of wood and steel, this German Tropical Survival Machete is in EXCELLENT used condition! Made between 1940 and 1942 by AWS Alcoso, there are some slight marks and wear due to the age, but otherwise is in AMAZING used condition! The blade does show some oil stains, but that could be easily rectified by the winning bidder. Also retains the original factory edge! The manufacture logo is clearly stamped into the side. Some marks on the spine, but nothing that detracts. The scabbard is original to this machete and matches in condition, with some paint loss. Would make a SUPERB addition to any collection or display!
————— TERMS OF SALE ————– ——————– ABOUT ME —————– Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft. ——————- COPYRIGHT —————– |
