Title Luftwaffe flyer's dirk, 2nd pattern
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This is a nice example, with an Eickhorn blade in near factory finish, a nice silver-plated scabbard and the original gilding on the swastika on both sides of the pommel. These dirks were worn by all flight personnel of the Luftwaffe in WW2.

The only downside is the zinc crossguard, which, sadly, is showing signs of decomposition. Having said that, the zinc crossguard conforms to the Eickhorn factory pattern and undoubtedly was part of the dagger when it was made.

It got here this morning, presumably delayed by the holidays. It is perfect, indeed better than I was expecting.

Collected bayonet this morning, all safe & sound as described. Been looking for one as good as this for years. Thank you.
