Luftwaffe Dagger [1937] by E. & F. Hörster Solingen

Total length: 42.6 cm. Produced by the renowned maker E.&F. Hörster, Solingen, highly regarded for the quality of its blades.

Grip: White grip with original double-wire wrap. The grooves are convex in shape. The spherical pommel is decorated on both sides with sun wheels and detailed oak leaf ornamentation, retaining partial traces of gilding. The pommel is tightly screwed onto the tang. The crossguard features the classic Luftwaffe eagle looking to the left, with downward-swept wings and a swastika clutched in its talons. The reverse of the guard has a finely pebbled finish.

Blade: Double-edged, in good condition. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the maker’s mark E.&F. Hörster, Solingen. The original blade buffer (leather washer) is still in place between the shoulders and lower crossguard.

Scabbard: Made from a single piece of steel, with a fine pebbled surface texture on both sides. Fitted with two oak leaf-decorated bands and two closed suspension rings. The tip is rounded and undamaged. The throat is separately mounted and secured by two side screws.
