Please help !! German dagger - what is it?
My friend has this dagger. His Uncle served in WWII and brought it back.
The maker is A.W. JR Solingen.
It appeared to be a Heer dager to me except the eagle hand guard is Gold instead of Silver.
Please tell me what I have here.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I apologize in advance for the poor quality photos.
IMO, it has been painted gold.
If you look a the pommel edge, you can see the original silver finish showing.

Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
Anton Wingen is the ptoducer which at a quick glance all of which appears to be consistent in a 1936 production type.
Member Gerrit will weigh in more if I missed a few details.
The dagger is period and original.
The crossguard as Ralph states is painted and never left the factory that way. Postwar improvisation. Should be a silver type color.
