Hi Guys, another new buy for me. My third 2nd pattern Lufwaffe dagger

It came together with a Police bayonet which I have also shown today.

Nice and complete with the knot and hangers.

Maker is WKC. (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co.) They still exist today:

Wow Ade, Beautiful! I like the three different tones of the grips, with the collection being in the same excellent condition... Nice examples.

Personally I like the pale colored grips best of all, nice addition!

I used to own item Nr. 1022, Officer's Sword. Unfortunately the leather was only about 60%, and was dry and brittle. The rest of the handle was moderately oxidized. The blade was in great shape, but was heavily pitted where it met the handle. The scabbard was in really poor shape... Never the less, it was a stunning piece to own.
