Opinion on dagger

[Jim Baker]

This dagger belongs to a friend at work. Daggers have never been my thing and I wanted to get opinions from some experienced collectors. Thanks in advance!!

Looks to be an original Luftwaffe dagger , but better photos and makers mark would help

Hi Dave,

Thanks. I'm working on that. He says he also has a few other things. Apparently all bring backs from some relative. I'll post whatever he supplies me with.

Thanks again,
Jim

I would say a 2nd Luft.

Def original, bro!

You better rub the blade with a cloth fast!
I see you hold the dagger by its blade in your hand.
The acid in your skin makes perfect fingerprint in the chrome of the blade and cant be removed when they are properly burned in.
that will certainly lead to loss of value.

I once gave a perfect dagger to a friend who wanted to take a look and didnt noticed he helt the blade in his fingers.
unfortunate i didnt treated the blade with Wax, after a few months i had perfect fingerprints on the blade, i know who is the criminal , LOL

Cheers,
Ger
