SMF truly made some wonderful 2nd Model Luftwaffe Daggers! The more desirable plated blade on this one looks great. It has a beautifully etched "SMF Solingen" maker mark, with a stamped proof mark just above it. There are a few small hits to the cutting edge and a small stain towards the tip. The blade on this one rates Exc++. The original blue pebbled buffer pad remains intact. The steel based undented airplane grey plated scabbard looks excellent! It depicts awesome details throughout with the random pebbling, oak leaves and acorns. It remains completely dent free and the two headless retaining screws remain intact and unturned! The aluminum bands perfectly match the crossguard and pommel. The burnished aluminum SMF Luftwaffe eagle crossguard has amazing detail to its head, feathers, wings and top side oak leaves and acorns. The aluminum pommel is beautifully hand enhanced to the sides and has those two proud gold gilded swastika you want to see, surrounded by oak leaves and acorns. 99%+ of the gilding remains intact! These are just beautiful and make for a display the others don't! The early trylon grip has aged to a nice light orange over time. There is no chips or cracks. The aluminum springy wire wrap remains intact. Could you ask for m, these gilt examples are drying up!
