ITEM : L104 - WKC 2nd Pattern
Luftwaffe Dagger
This gorgeous 2nd pattern dagger by WKC (
Weyersburg & Kirschbaum ) has the finest detailing to the hilt
fittings that I have ever seen. Other than a small section of
rubbing wear to one side of the pommel, the detail jumps out at
you and is beyond what is normally observed today on 2nd pattern
Luft daggers. Fitted with WKC parts throughout, this dagger has
the bonus of the rarer cross-guard produced by Weyersburg.
Listed on page 151 of Wittmanns book it bears the defined relief
border on the upper cross-guard with the typical left over right
oak leaves unique to WKC Lufts. The blade has a fully burnished
trademark and is virtually mint, the grip has a very small
hairline to a centre segment that is barely visible and a little
plating loss to the sides of the scabbard shell.
A very well defined example in excellent condition.
