This RAD Dagger by Voos is in NEAR MINT condition throughout. Model 1934 for RAD Hewer. The total length is 40.0 cm. The Hewer has the maker mark on the blade: E.&F. Hörster Solingen.

Grip: The grip plates are a most beautiful antler and fit the dagger flawlessly. The edges are well as the trimmed areas are turning a fine, golden color. The nickel-plated hilt mounts are intact, with no signs of any deterioration.

Blade: The blade is in near mint condition and it has the typical matte finish and the Bowie-style end, with a fine narrow fuller. The obverse facing bears the RAD motto, “Arbeit Adelt”. The reverse of this blade is etched with maker mark E.&F. Hörster Solingen.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is completely straight. The paint is very nearly 99%. The nickel-plated scabbard mounts are also beauties. These mounts have perfect plating throughout, with the RAD curls at the upper mounts and the RAD spade and wheat stalks on the lower mount. These embellishments are in crisp, perfect condition. All of the stampings have the original background darkening. As is always the case with these pieces there is a line of beading that runs around the edges of the mounts where they meet the scabbard shell. The original flat head screws are all in place.
