2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger w/Portepee & Standard Hangers. A. Schüttelhöffer Solingen-Wald, crossed hobby horses above ASSO within an elongated double-oval TM. Aluminum hilt fittings with light gray factory finish show minor wear to the WKC pattern pommel with pebbled finish to the background of the swastikas which appear to have never been gilded, as well as the "generic" crossguard with the right over left oak leaf pattern on the upper quillon and the courser pattern on the reverse panel. Light yellow, solid celluloid grip with deep, age toned swirls and tight twisted wire wrap is perfect with no cracks or chips. Plated blade grades EX+/EX++ showing light surface wear/runner marks, and a few specks of gray shadowing, and three tiny nicks to lower right cutting edge, but no pitting or lifting. Blade and is complete with dark brown leather buffer pad. Dent-free, nickel-plated scabbard appears to be an E. Pack & Söhne example and shows minor wear/speckling to the pebbled panels and the oak leaf suspension bands. The scabbard throat is retained by two dome head throat retaining screws as pictured on page 216 of Exploring the Dress Daggers of the German Luftwaffe by Thomas Wittmann. The original 23cm portepee grades Near MINT/MINT, while the standard hangers in EX++ condition show minor wear/age to fabric and fittings. EX++ (26130) $995. HOLD
