Luftwaffe Dagger [1937] with Hangers, Portepee and Expertise

This 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger has outstanding hilt fittings despite the fact that there is an unmarked blade. The pommel and crossguard are a bright aluminum tone. The oak leaves on both sides of this pommel are all completely hand enhanced. The crossguard is also a beauty. The bird is flying to the left. This bird, of course, grasps a mobile swastika in his claws. The reverse panel is also a good example. This crossguard has outstanding engraved oak leaves and acorns within a panel. The grip is a fine off-white example which is turning to a pleasing ivory color. This grip is in totally perfect condition and is tightly wrapped with thin twisted brass wire. The portepee is still wrapped around the grip. This portepee shows a bit of fraying. The scabbard is a generic type and it has good pebbling throughout. There is some age darkening to the airplane gray coating but it is not bad and matches nicely with the dagger’s hilt parts. The throat is a thinner style and it is retained by a single headless center placed flush mount screw. The scabbard is damaged on the reverse. The blade is in good condition. This unmarked blade grades in excellent plus. The blade is protected by an in place brown leather washer.
