Army Officer’s Dagger by Anton Wingen Jr. Solingen
Army Officer’s Dagger Model 1935 for officers of the German Army, manufactured by Anton Wingen Jr. Solingen. The dagger has an overall length of approximately 39.7 cm and corresponds to the classic configuration of the Army Officer’s Dagger with white celluloid grip, oak leaf decorated fittings, mirror-bright blade, granulated scabbard and original leather buffer washer. The reverse side of the blade bears the maker logo Anton Wingen Jr. Solingen.
Grip & Crossguard: Round celluloid grip in white execution with double-twisted, convex fluting. The fluting curves outward and corresponds to the typical form of the Army Officer’s Dagger Model 1935. The conical pommel is firmly screwed onto the tang and decorated with surrounding oak leaf ornamentation. At the lower end of the grip is the typical decorative grip ring with oak leaves arranged side by side. The crossguard is executed in the form of the Army eagle, facing left, with downward swept wing tips. In its claws, the eagle holds a wreath with swastika.
Blade: Double-edged, mirror-bright blade with reverse maker logo Anton Wingen Jr. Solingen. Between the blade shoulders and the lower crossguard is the original leather buffer washer. The clear maker marking allows a precise attribution to Anton Wingen Jr. Solingen and is an important feature when identifying this Army Officer’s Dagger.
Scabbard: The scabbard is made from drawn sheet steel and displays the typical granulated surface texture on both front and reverse. Fitted with a separately inserted throat piece, secured by one screw. The scabbard has two oak leaf decorated suspension bands with loose, fully closed suspension rings. The tip of the scabbard is rounded and not dented. The execution corresponds to the classic scabbard form of the Army Officer’s Dagger Model 1935.
Special Features: Especially noteworthy is the combination of Anton Wingen Jr. Solingen, white celluloid grip, mirror-bright blade, original leather buffer washer, oak leaf decorated fittings and granulated scabbard. The dagger shows the typical design language of the Army Officer’s Dagger Model 1935 and can be clearly attributed to a known Solingen maker through the logo on the blade.
