German WWII > Edged Weapons > Other Daggers > Postal Daggers

Model 1939 - Postschutz Dolch für Führer by Paul Weyersberg & Co. of Solingen. The acid etched oval “Paul Weyersberg & Co. Solingen” wreathed broad sword manufacturers marking looks great. It shows beautiful crossgrain, easily visible as you shine it in the light. The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit is nice and tight. The blade rates Exc++/NM. It shows minor spotting and age grey throughout along with the common scratches throughout. The black replacement leather buffer pad remains intact. The steel based black enamel painted scabbard is in excellent condition. Typical paint chips from the chain. The three nickel-silver plated scabbard fittings remain in nice condition. They are all tightly secured with all five original screws. The nickel-silver chain is complete ending at the correct nickel-silver plated, zinc based “DRGM” marked well working clip. The scabbard sits nicely up against the hilt. The crossguard and pommel are solid nickel-silver and plated. The two enameled swastikas are in perfect condition. The bottom of the crossguard is stamped “DRP” (Deutsches Reichpost) and is numbered “213” (serial number). The hardwood grip is boiled and died black. These grips notoriously crack and chip, as the wood expands and contracts with humidity throughout the years. The bottom of the grip has been professionally repaired. It has a darkened and properly pin on DRP eagle emblem to the front-center. The pommel looks great. These postal protection daggers are getting very though to come by. A great example.
