ITEM : L105 - UNMARKED 2nd Pattern
Luftwaffe Dagger
A late war dagger fitted with an imitation
ivory grip. The daggers itself is finished in airplane grey and
has a good unmarked blade with a lot of cross-grain remaining.
The grip has a wood core and a celluloid coating designed to
imitate genuine ivory, the reverse and sides of the grip clearly
shows the graining effect although the front face of the grip
has worn and is not quite as evident. Double twist brass wire
sets the grip off nicely with a 3/4" split that could be
concealed. The tang of the blade may be slightly bent, as the
pommel is a little off centre but it could be straightened. The
fittings on this dagger are consistent with examples distributed
by Horster and is correctly matched with an E-Pack scabbard.
