PERIOD ARMY - HEER OFFICERS DAGGERS - DOLCH

A late war plaster filled grip adorns this German army dagger by E-Pack, the dagger is fitted with with an aluminium pommel and crossguard that would have been silvered and is prone to wear off because of the base metal. This results in a dagger that has all the traits of a period produced rare type aluminium army dagger however, although this base metal is rarely observed on period army daggers, the original silver plate distinguishes it from a genuine aluminium hilted dagger. The blade is good showing some light grey patches but also with crossgraining still evident, it has an attractive and unusual punched detailing to the pommel and is matched with an early scabbard with twin flush mounted side screws. The Siegfried Waffen trademark is clear and crisp.
