German WWII > Edged Weapons > Luftwaffe, DLV & NSFK Daggers > 2nd Model Luftwaffe Daggers

M1937 Fliegerdolch für Offiziere sold by Uniform Distributor Zeitler pf Wien. Here's a nice example of what is a rare Distributor marked dagger. These distributors purchased unmarked daggers then put their own names on them. This one looks like it was manufactured from generic components. The blade on this example has fingerprint stain. The tip is perfect and the stamped distributor mark and location is nicely executed. People have asked why some distributors have many variations on their trademark. It is my opinion that Zeitler chose to have the dagger manufacturer execute the distributor mark so different makers marked them slightly different. The blade rates Exc. The scabbard has some small hits towards the drag and minor wear. Both side screws are intact and unturned. The crossguard and pommel are beautifully detailed and in great condition. The white celluloid over plaster grip has a few stains but no cracks or chips. The double-twist wire is intact. Overall this one has a gorgeous body and will make for an excellent display!
