Luftwaffe Dagger [1937] with Dedication, Hangers and Portepee by F. W. Höller, Solingen

This 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger, produced by Höller, is an absolute textbook example, and is in fine condition overall. Model 1937. The total length is 42.8 cm. The Dagger has the maker mark on the blade: F. W. Höller, Solingen.


Grip: The grip is an attractive dark pumpkin orange color. This grip is in perfect condition throughout, and is tightly wrapped with a springy copper wire. The hilt mounts are finished in an extremely dark coating. The pommel and crossguard have blackening in the backgrounds. This pommel has excellent hand-enhanced oak leaf details on both sides. The swastikas on either side are nicely vaulted. Crossgurad bear a Luftwaffe eagle flying to the viewer's left and clutching a swastika in his talons. The guard shows little wear, with excellent detail to the beak, breast feathering, and talons of the bird. The wing feathering is still mostly crisp as well. Neatly engraved within the pebbling on the reverse crossguard is the name of the original owner, “Hofmann”.

Blade: The blade is in fine condition throughout. The reverse ricasso is etched with a dual oval trademark. The oval contains the name and location of the firm, “F.W. Höller / Solingen”. The original leather blade buffer is in place.

Scabbard: The scabbard is also a fine example. It is coated with an airplane gray finish. It has outstanding crisp pebbled panels and the bands are a fine aluminum having excellent detail to the oak leaves. The throat is slightly thick and is retained by ony headless flush mount screw.
