Here we have a M1937 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger (Fliegerdolch) by R. Herder of Solingen. The blade on this example has some age and evidence it's been cleaned. The fit is perfect, the tip is perfect and the acid etched "Rich. Abr. Herder Solingen" maker mark is still clear. The blade rates Exc+. There is some minor age grey and surface scratches throughout. The original buffer pad remains intact. The airplane grey plated scabbard looks good and has 99% of the plating intact. It has awesome details throughout, its original throat retaining screws remain and it's completely dent free! The alloy eagle crossguard and pommel look excellent! The hand enhanced eagle has amazing detail to its wings and top side, oak leaves and acorns. The pommel is beautifully hand enhanced with a proud gilt swastika surrounded by oak leaves and acorns. The burnishing to the backgrounds really makes the details pop right out at you! The white celluloid over plaster grip has one hit to the top edge beside the pommel. The aluminum springy wire wrap remains tightly secured and completely intact.
