ITEM : D113 - ALCOSSO ( Hi-lift )
German Army Officers
Dagger
I have owned several Alcoso made army daggers over the years
and one trait I have come across specific to this maker is that
they fixed the pommel in place during manufacture. When I
received this dagger the pommel had been forced and
threaded and it was fixed temporarily with glue for display
purposes. Although normally observed with white
grips ( that remain white ) there are numerous ACS daggers that
have surfaced bearing a rarer orange toned grip, that I believe
are totally legitimate and Alcoso grips are normally unique in
their shape towards the upper collar to match the flaired pommel. Many daggers I have seen by this maker
still show residue on the interior of the pommel although I
cannot confirm that this process was utilised on 100% of
production.
