A nice example of a Deutsche Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross) hewer, 10.25 in. x 15.5 in., featuring a black checkered Bakelite grip on the obverse and a smooth grip on the reverse, secured by two slotted screws. The matte finish on the pommel, crossguard and the Red Cross emblem is in good condition overall with only one spot of oxidation to the crossguard, with no resultant pitting. The ricasso of the sawback blade is marked "Ges. Geschutzt" behind the crossguard extension. The blade is generally bright overall, with expected draw marks and small scratches, and a few widely scattered, very small spots of oxidation. The scabbard is constructed of black-painted steel with an aluminum drag and throat, and shows a few scratches and small, scattered chips to the paint, but with no apparent dents or oxidation. In very good condition overall.
