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.

I am more and more pleased with the sword, and am wondering whether to do an article on it...

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
