Luftwaffe Dagger # 2110
Luftwaffe Dagger # 2110
Luftwaffe 2nd model dagger - maker marked A. Schuttelhofer - Solingen - sourced from Wittmann. A nice orange gripped dagger, one side of the orange gripped dagger is darker than the other but the effect is nice and the orange gripped handle is undamaged. The mounts are very nice, nice even age toning. This guard depicts an eagle flying to the viewer's left clutching a swastika. The bird still has excellent fine detail throughout his breast feathering, legs, talons and head. The outward stretched wings have nice feathering. The reverse panel has good pebbling surfaces with about 50% of the original darkening remaining. The scabbord is nice with highlights and aged toned areas. The blade is nice and clean, some very mild pitting but no rust or problems and a good sharp undamaged point. A good textbook dagger with an attractive exterior that presents well.
