It's a DLV Fliegermesser by Eickhorn
I got it on hold but first i wanna have you guys examine it.
Feel free to say what's on your mind, didn't pay for it yet.....
Leather on scabbard is not that good, swastika lost an bit off emaille on 1 legg.
but overall it's condition ain't that bad.
Please tell me what you think about this one.
It is marked with a "K" on the crossguard, what does that mean?

Hi, looks good to me. I cannot help on the marking, sorry.

Cheers, Ade.

I just had new pictures of it.
Does any one has an idea of the value in Europe?

**Adrian Stevenson** · 10-30-2010, 09:47 AM

About £650 to £750 here in the UK I think?

Cheers, Ade.

Thx Ade,

i was disappointed when i got the new pics.
They showed that they tried to denazify it, on the crossguard all along the swastika plate they tried to hammer the plate of it.
It chipped the swastika, he didn't mentioned it when i made my bid and asked for detailed pictures.
He sold it for 600 euro to me, but after the pictures i told him to look for another buyer because i will not pay more then 450 euro's for it.
He said the knife was in good condition, only the leather from the scabbard has mayor wear, unfortunately the knife wasn't that good after all.

You were wise not to purchase it. It's always better to pay a little more for a quality dagger. The "K" you asked about is the caster's mark.

thanks i didn't knew it was the casters mark

Are these dropping out of the woodwork or what. I traded for one today 10/31/10 and its a beaut. The grip has a couple of places (small) where the leather is missing and there is some general wear in the grip. There is some wear on the leather covering on the scabbard and the ball has a small scrape on it.

Could someone tell me what the difference between a DLV and NSFK knife would be?
