2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger w/White Grip. Ernst Pack & Söhne M-B-H Waffenfabrik, Solingen, large Siegfried wielding hammer, Siegfried Waffen TM. As stated on page 187 of Exploring the Dress Daggers of the German Luftwaffe by Thomas T. Wittmann, "Although Pack made distinctive in-house fittings, they also bought fittings from private casters". This dagger is an example of this practice. Hilt fittings show light surface wear with much factory darkening remaining on the WKC pattern pommel and the "generic" crossguard with relief-style oak leaves featuring right leaf over left motif on the upper quillon surfaces and courser pebbled panel on the reverse crossguard. Off-white, celluloid-over-wood grip shows only light surface wear with no cracks or chips and is complete with tight twisted wire wrap. Polished blade grades EX showing light surface wear/runner marks, minor gray speckling and several tiny nicks to right cutting edge and is complete with tan leather blade buffer pad. Dent-free, silver-plated steel Eickhorn pattern scabbard shows light surface wear/age with some loss of plating primarily to the edges and complete with convex style Eickorn suspension bands. The thicker pattern scabbard throat is retained by two headless screws. Nice early E. Pack example recently veteran estate acquired in the state of Tennessee. EX+ (25617) $795.
