German Red Cross Officer's Dagger [M1938]
This DRK [Deutsches Rotes Kreuz] Red Cross Officer's Dagger is in MINT condition throughout. The total length is 38.5 cm. Model 1938.
Grip: The grip of this example is a very fine pumpkin orange. This Red Cross Officer Dagger is in fine condition throughout having fine plating to the hilt mounts. The grips is with small damage on reverse. The crossguard features a good raised out half closed-winged eagle which looks to the viewer’s left. The bird has a raised out mobile swastika on his chest and clutches a Geneva cross in his talons.
Blade: The blade of this example is still bright and has all of the crossgraining in the surfaces. There are some extremely modest signs of age but not enough to keep the blade from still having a mint rating. The ricasso area has the traditional nickel-plated surfaces.
Scabbard: The scabbard is nice and straight with good crisp pebbling. There is only the tiniest signs of a little age on the scabbard but basically the plating is still at 100%. The bands are the style which have sharp ridges. The throat of this example is retained by two side mounted dome head screws.
