Description

Specimens in aluminum execution represent a variety of edged weapons of the DLV, NSFK, and Luftwaffe organizations, where aluminum was used for manufacturing hilt parts, scabbards, or decorative elements. The use of this lightweight metal was driven by both aesthetic considerations and the conservation of strategic materials during wartime conditions.
