Luftwaffe Funeral Dagger [1937] with Portepee & Hangers by Robert Klaas Solingen

This rare 2nd Model Luftwaffe "Funeral Dagger" (Model 1937) was manufactured by Robert Klaas, Solingen, and remains in near mint condition throughout. A highly sought-after piece, it features the distinctive black grip — a rare variation on Klaas-made Luftwaffe and Army daggers. Total length: 42.5 cm.

Grip: The black celluloid grip is in immaculate condition, tightly wrapped with twisted aluminum wire. The pommel and crossguard retain crisp details, with finely executed oak leaf ornamentation and raised mobile swastikas on both sides. The pebbling behind the design elements is sharp and untouched.

Blade: This double-edged blade remains in extremely fine condition, showing only light runner marks and minor age-related wear. It retains a sharp tip and excellent polish. The reverse ricasso bears the iconic Kissing Cranes logo above the etched maker mark: "ROBERT KLAAS SOLINGEN". The original brown pebbled leather blade buffer is still present and intact.

Scabbard: The matching scabbard is finished in airplane gray and remains straight and dent-free. It features finely pebbled surfaces with two suspension rings. The throat is secured by two flush-mounted side screws.
