Luftwaffe Dagger 2nd Model - E. Pack & Sohne "Siegfried"
Recently picked up this 2nd model Luftwaffe dagger by Ernst Pack & Sohne. Excellent, pretty minty plated blade, with some gold gilt remaining on the pommel swastikas (also note the hand enhancements done in the surrounding area). Grip has toned to a butterscotch color (everything sounds better with food names doesn't it). Unusual, but not unheard of, army portepee attached.
Pictures typically tell more about these than words, so I'll just move on to those:
Schwing !!
Love the even patina and the trademark Pack pommel that has the hole punch enhancement circumferencing the swastika.
Nice to see a little gold gilt left too.
Minty Blade with the ornate later period type logo
This one photo showing the even patina just slays me !
Says alot about the character of the dagger , the producer and the previous owner/s
Jackpot Scott Well Done !

One of the best 2nd model luftwaffe daggers I've seen in a very long time! The Pack 2nd model is also one of my favourites. Thanks for showing.

Thanks guys, for the comments.by stingray
Say Stingray, I thought Luftwaffe protepees were short little guys that wrapped around the bottom of the grip near the crossguard like this one is applied, and army dagger portepees were the long ones. I've apparently been misinformed for quite a while now.... I quite like the look of the longer portepee like this one has over the short ones, so I'm glad to hear there was a place for longer ones on the Luftwaffe daggers.
Looks like an army portepee to me...
Hi, amazing dagger! Very nice and full mint. We do not see this E. Pack daggers very often and in this condition it is quite rare. I saw several 2nd. model Luftwaffe daggers with army portepee and one foto is in Wittmann book. But all daggers wich I saw had were tie like army daggers, not that way... so interesting
