BUY / RESERVE THIS ITEMDescription: Luftwaffe 2nd model dagger by Horster; 29cm long, bright, nickel/silver plated, double edged, stiletto style blade with a flat central plane. The leather washer is in situ. The dagger has a well defined, nicely detailed, crossguard, ferrule and pommel. The crossguard features a stylized national eagle with down-swept wings clutching a swastika to the obverse with a random pebbled field to the reverse. The top edge of the crossguard has an ornate etched oak-leaf pattern. The cast ferrule has a repeating, embossed oak-leaf pattern. The orb shaped pommel features an embossed oak-leaf pattern encompassing a dual encircled, canted, embossed swastika on a pebbled field background to both the obverse and the reverse. Swaz gilt finish remains about 90%. The dagger has a molded, deep yellow grip with the correct, fine, twisted silver/aluminum “spongy” wire wrap inset into the diagonally angled grooves. The dagger comes complete with its original silvered steel scabbard that is starting to gray. The scabbard features a pebbled field to both the obverse and the reverse with smooth side panels. The scabbard has an ornate, embossed, oak-leaf pattern to both the obverse and reverse of the bottom tip where a small dent is present on the reverse, fortunately hardly noticeable. All the fittings are matching aluminum including the hanger fittings on the scabbard giving this dagger a super uniform appearance! Comes with an original Officers correctly tied portepee.
