This RAD Officer's Dagger by Herder is in EXC+ condition. Model 1937 for Leader. The total length is 40.0 cm. The Hewer has the rare maker mark on the blade: Rich. A. Herder Solingen.

Grip: The pommel has the usual outstanding detail to the eagle’s nasal area, beak, brow and eye. The ferrule has the decorative lines running on forty-five degree angles on the ferrule, each having its original factory darkening in the backgrounds. The crossguard features quillon arms that curl to a swirl at the quillons. The obverse features a spade which is lined and has a superimposed swastika placed between two wheat shafts. The grip plates are a very pleasing off-white color.

Blade: The blade is a very fine matte finished example being in near mint condition. This blade is still crisp throughout the spine and has a good fuller on both sides. The RAD motto “Arbeit adelt” is in crisp condition with 100% of the background darkening. The reverse ricasso is etched with the logo of Rich. A. Herder Solingen.

Scabbard: The scabbard has a good crisp pebble pattern on both sides. The scabbard features the curl designs on the upper portion and below the curls are two touching wheat shafts. The throat is retained by two side screws.
