Officer´s dagger with "green" hilt !
In this thread:
NVA Officers dagger
I have already shown you some Ehrendolche / officer's daggers of the NVA of the former GDR from my collection.
Today I would like to show you this Ehrendolch which has a "green" / "greenish" handle.
Unfortunately, the “green” doesn’t come across as well in the pictures as it does when you hold the dagger in your hands.
The Gerätenummer of the dagger: 31249
"Big" logo stamped on the blade.
The "edge" of the sheath (the sides) are rounded.
The dagger came with a "one-hole hanger".
A fellow collector told me the following about the green "coloring" of the handle:
The light mint tint is known from the 70s. The granules ready for injection molding had admixtures of various color nuances that can be roughly assigned to a specific time.
Another collector colleague “dated” the production/issue of the dagger to the year 1972 or 1973.
Honor daggers / officer daggers of the NVA with a "greenish" handle are rarely found.
