SOLD. Original WWII German Luftwaffe officer's dagger, 2nd model, made by SMF, Solingen. SOLD.
Bright, clean blade with an intact tip. The ricasso is marked with the SMF seated-king logo and "SMF SOLINGEN", with a small stamped mark above the logo (see the detailed photo). Deep orange grip, free of cracks, with its twisted wire wrap fully intact. Aluminum hilt fittings with honest age patina; the pommel swastika retains most of its original gilt finish. The silver portepee is correctly tied and included.
The pebbled steel scabbard is straight, with no visible dents, keeping its silvered finish with age patina. It comes with the complete hanger set — striped straps with oak-leaf buckles and velvet backs. The dagger seats correctly in the scabbard, with the leather throat washer still in place.
A complete, untouched example with hangers and portepee — increasingly hard to find in this configuration.
Original WWII German collector's item. Please study the detailed photos carefully — they form part of this description. I am a collector myself and describe every item honestly. Feel free to ask for additional photos or information before buying. Take a look at my other items in the store.
