This is a wonderful second model unmarked Luftwaffe dagger in overall excellent condition.

The ivory colored grip is both visually and cosmetically in very fine condition aside from a few minor areas of discoloration from age. The braided wire is 100%, and fits just a tad loosely in the grooves. The pommel detail has a nice deep gray tone, with sharp detailing and approximately 50 – 60% of the original gilt on the Swastikas still present.

The lower crossguard detail is almost flawless, with crisp, deeply engraved detail, and a nice deep gray tone in the recessed areas. A fine example indeed!

The scabbard shows the same wonderful deep gray coloring as the grip fittings and ferrule ring (an almost perfect match), along with strong detail throughout.

Just as importantly, the blade is also in very fine visual and cosmetic condition, which goes along with the rest of this nice 2nd model Luftwaffe dagger. The photos do not do this blade the justice it disserves. In-hand one can see a very prominent cross grain over the entire length of both sides of the blade. Aside from some typical runner marks (although almost not worth noting), there is some very faint surface spotting which is actually exaggerated in the photos. Under normal lighting the spotting is only noticeable upon close inspection.

A very fine Luftwaffe dagger indeed! This dagger continues to define the high quality German standards even today. We rarely see such a nice dagger, so don’t pass this one up!
