This 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger, produced by ASSO and is in NEAR MINT condition overall. Model 1937. The total length is 42.5 cm. The Dagger has the maker mark on the blade: Artur Schüttelhöfer ASSO Solingen.

Grip: The Grip of this dagger is a fine, off-white color. It is tightly wrapped with twisted silver wire. The pommel is the style with pebbled backgrounds to the oak leaves. These oak leaves are nicely detailed, and they surround the raised swastikas that appear on both sides of the pommel. The crossguard is also a great example. The generic variety has large pebbling on the reverse panel. The eagles on these guards are especially nice as the tops of the wings slightly overlap the depiction. This bird has complete detail to the head, breast and wing feathering, as well as the talons.
