A buddy of mine wants to sell a ceremonial sword that his grandfather brought back from WW2. He claims it's a German "Field Marshal's Sword". It's long and thin, with a metal scabbard. The handle looks to be brass, perhaps gilded, and is fully engraved on all outer surfaces. The tang has a German eagle, wings down, above a swastika.
I shall try to post photographs tomorrow, but in the meantime, does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any photographs on the Web of similar items? Does anyone know its approximate value? He wants to sell it, and is talking about $500 or so, but I have no idea of whether or not this is realistic. I've told him I'll list it on the Internet for him if he wants me to.
Thanks in advance for the help.
