Army Dagger by A. Schüttelhöfer & Co.

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Army Daggers >

A nice early slant-grip Model 1935 Wehrmacht Heer Dolch by Arthur Schüttelhöfer & Co. of Solingen-Wald. Like many of these early daggers this utilized WKC fittings. The blade on this one has been cleaned and not much crossgrain remains. The acid etched maker mark is lightened. This is a tapered tang example, exactly what one would expect on an early example. The blade rates an Exc. The large brown leather buffer pad continues to remain intact. The nickel silver plated scabbard provides good detail with the random pebbling throughout and hand enhanced oak leaf and acorn bands! It shows period age, wear and plating lifting. The original throat retaining screws remains intact. The early hand enhanced WKC eagle crossguard shows wear. It was personailzed to the reverse but it looks like someone tried to remove it? Seen this before when the original owner no longer wanted to be associated with this stuff, who knows? The pommel and ferrule are also beautifully detailed and proud oak leaves and acorns. The warm orange, slant trylon grip on this one looks beautiful! It is perfect being damage free except for period wear! Truly some great features on this Army Dagger! Add it to your collection today and feel proud!
