No doubt it is good!
Where did you get the idea that the only guys in the Luftwaffe who had daggers were pilots?
Sarge
I would like to hear more opinions on the etch..which these days are applied as quickly as childrens lick and stick tattoos. The photos do not reveal too much detail..and it seems to appear it is "supposed " to be aluminum fittings .
In the first photo..between the crossguard and the grip appears to be crooked or off a bit.
I would like to know if Paul Seilheimer Produced Aluminum 1st Luftwaffe daggers.
To include in what Member Sarge is saying about these daggers belonging soley to pilots..the answer is No! There were many branches of service within the Luftwaffe that included officers of many ranks.
Not sure of the name of the blade..and would like to hear other opinions overall on this dagger. I would not like to endorse a thumbs up ..on a dagger that of this type nears $1000 US...without making sure its authentic or you lose your money on One Opinion. ( No disrespect Sarge...Its just Business ) and safe research practice. These days the crooks are getting saavy.

1st Paul S. 1st Luft I've ever seen.
Special order maybe?
here are my 2 cents:
Paul Seilheimer is not listed as a LW 1st pattern maker as far as i know.
Blade is more then questionable, i would call it a bad fake.
Crossguard and pommel are fake, just look at it magnified.....
a few Original parts and the rest is a bucket full of crap.
