Luftwaffe Dagger

[MAP]

Very nice. Were the Swastika's at the top gilded or in anyway colored gold?

To quote Kevins response in post #5

.....still having some of the gold gilting on the swastika. Most pommels were of a more round shape, and many never had the gold gilting! Nice piece, enjoy it and pass it down through the family! Best, Kevin.

See the link in my post (#2) for one with much of the gilting left

Thanks for sharing your father's souvenir. It's a very nice 2nd model Luftwaffe dagger whose monetary value is exceeded by history to your father and his service. Keep in the family.

Absolutely. Does this site have a German weapons board? Looked and found none.

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

We have a Firearms forum and one dedicated to just the Luger P08 pistol.

Cheers, Ade.
