Title Luftwaffe dirk, 1st model
Nationality German
Period c 1937
Sold

Good average example of Alcoso maker marked dirk. Nickel silver fittings to scabbard, along with nickel silver chains. Zinc hilt fittings with much of the EPNS finish remaining. Zinc showing on the highlights of the sunwheel motif. Excellent leather grip and slightly rippled leatherwork to scabbard body.

NB: The screw fittings on the top scabbard mount have been somewhat abused and both of the screws would appear to be missing.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)

I received the sword and belt this afternoon. Always a bit of a risk buying this sort of thing online but I'm very pleased with the quality of the sword and scabbard...
