I was Lucky to find this untouced wall hanger, nicotine patina all the way...almost sticky.
Backside still nickel coloured, well enjoy the pics.

Exceptional find Ger.....I like these original production types with the brass medallions.
The blade is a sleeper and well preserved

Thank you Gents for the nice words, they are appreciated!
I like the heavy feel these early lufts have and the quality they bring.

Beautiful Ger. My favourite daggers.

Is this even earlier ie DLV period than the example you found me?

I had been meaning to ask about a knot, am I correct in thinking a bullion 23cm knot would be correct? Or should I (k)not bother?

Best regards

Jamie these are identical twins
Yours is as good as they come M8!
standard it has the short portepee, but occasionally they are found with the large luft portepee of about 40-42cm, i even had ones with a long army one originally tied on a luft 2.
as the appereance is quite the same i guess they sometimes favored a longer one.

Cheers
Ger

Hi Ger, that is lovely dagger. I like it! It show honest wear and use during the preriod. I never had early Luftwaffe dagger like that in my hands! So maybe I will be lucky enough and find one for me
