Luftwaffe Dagger [1937] by E. & F. Hörster Solingen

This 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger, produced by E&F. Hörster Solingen, and is in EXC++ condition overall. Model 1937. The total length is 43.0 cm.


Grip: The Grip of this dagger is a fine, off-white color. It is tightly wrapped with twisted silver wire. The pommel is the style with pebbled backgrounds to the oak leaves. These oak leaves are nicely detailed, and they surround the raised swastikas that appear on both sides of the pommel. The crossguard is also a great example. The generic variety has large pebbling on the reverse panel. The eagles on these guards are especially nice as the tops of the wings slightly overlap the depiction. This bird has complete detail to the head, breast and wing feathering, as well as the talons.

Blade: The blade is in EXC+ condition throughout. This blade is etched on the reverse with the Hörster trademark having the firm's initials and location beneath, “E.&F. Hörster Solingen”. The leather washer is in place.

Scabbard: The scabbard is also a fine example. 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 two side screws.
