Etched - 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger
Etched Blade - M1937 Fliegerdolch für Offiziere. The etch was an upgrade privately purchased by a well-heeled officer. The Emil Voos pattern etched blade on this one looks great. The frosted etch is crisp, correctly displaying the Luftwaffe eagle flanked by laurel leaf and berry sprigs and a decorative intertwined floral motif. The blade on this one rates Exc++. It shows some sharpening, mostly concentrated towards the tip, along with some minor plating lifting, oxidization spotting and surface scratches throughout. The light brown leather buffer pad remains intact. The scabbard is steel based and nickel-silver plated. It remains completely dent free. It depicts nice detail throughout, with the random pebbling, oak leaves and acorns. The silver-grey finish has faded. The both headless side throat retaining screw remains intact. The aluminum-alloy based burnished eagle crossguard has crisp detail throughout the eagle’s head, feathers, wings and top side embossed oak leaves and acorns. The steel ferrule displays a nice oak-leaf pattern. The aluminum-alloy pommel looks excellent with the centered faint gold gilt mobile swastika encircled by oak leaves and acorns. The trylon grip looks excellent being chip and crack free. The springy aluminum grip wire remains intact. This piece comes with a beautiful Luftwaffe portepee. A prized piece for any collector…
