Luftwaffe Dagger [1937] with blade etching on both sides by Emil Voos Solingen

Elegant Luftwaffe Officer’s Dagger, Model 1937 – 2nd Pattern, manufactured by the renowned Solingen firm Emil Voos. Total length: 42.8 cm. A particularly rare version featuring double-sided blade etching – a distinctive hallmark of high-grade, privately commissioned Luftwaffe officer daggers. The reverse of the blade bears the maker’s mark “Emil Voos Solingen”.

Grip: White grip with double wire wrap; the fluted grooves are convex in shape. The spherical pommel is decorated on both sides with sunwheel swastikas surrounded by oak-leaf motifs and is firmly screwed onto the tang. The crossguard features the Luftwaffe eagle with downward-swept wings, grasping a swastika in its talons. The reverse of the guard is finely pebbled and precisely finished.

Blade: Double-edged blade with ornamental etching on both sides, executed in deep, crisp relief. The etched motifs show flowing floral and geometric designs, typical of officer-grade custom pieces from the Emil Voos workshop. On the reverse is the oval Emil Voos trademark, finely acid-etched: the inscription “EMIL VOOS” along the upper arc and “SOLINGEN” along the lower arc, with a stylized snake winding around a tree stump in the center. The logo, rendered in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizes craftsmanship and precision. The original leather blade buffer remains intact between the guard and the blade shoulders.

Scabbard: One-piece steel scabbard with fine, evenly pebbled surfaces front and back. It features two oak-leaf decorated suspension bands with fully closed carrying rings. The tip is rounded and undamaged. The mouthpiece is separately fitted and secured by two lateral screws. The surface retains a smooth satin-gray patina – a sign of originality and careful preservation.
