Army Dagger by Paul Weyersberg

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Army Daggers >

An early, slant grip, tapered tang, textbook Model 1935 - Wehrmacht Heer Dolch by Paul Weyersberg & Co. of Solingen. The blade on this one looks great. The acid etched encircled wreathed broad sword “Paul Weyersberg & Co. Solingen” maker mark looks good. The fit is nice and tight and the tip comes to a sharp point. The blade rates Exc+. It has been cleaned, the tip has been slightly dulled and there are surface scratches throughout. The leather buffer pad continues to remain intact. The steel based, nickel silver plated scabbard provides wonderful detail with the random pebbling and hand enhanced oak leaf and acorn bands! It has a wee pressure mark towards the tip and shows oxidization spotting throughout. The original throat retaining screws remains intact. The tombak based nickel-silver plated eagle crossguard provides beautiful details throughout the eagle’s head, wings, wreath, beak and chest. The pommel and ferrule are also beautifully detailed with proud oak leaves and acorns throughout. Early on many manufacturers purchased WKC parts, as is the case here with Weyersberg. Nice burnishing to the fittings and scabbard. The desirable slant orange trylon grip has cracks and chips. A good early one.
