PERIOD ARMY - HEER OFFICERS DAGGERS - DOLCH

This scarce 2nd pattern Holler German army dagger was used twice during the period but only for short transitional periods, this example is the later of the two as earlier daggers are normally hand enhanced. The grip is a two tone, with the inner swirls showing a darker hue and is very pleasing to the eye. It has a variation of the 2nd E-Pack crossguard, modified by Holler to suit and is matched with a punched attractive pommel. The hilt fittings are heavily silvered and the unmarked blade shows very unusual original crossgrain that is angled rather than directly across the blade with some light grey patches. The scabbard is a generic variety normally observed on this later pattern scarce army officers dagger.
