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.

I am wholly delighted with the shako plate. [It] is a wee cracker. It is a real pleasure to have something combining both condition and quality in equal parts, and I simply could not be more pleased.

I wanted to thank you for the perfect service that you did selling and packing the swords. Everything worked perfect. At the airport I had no troubles at all, the airline took the package without been astonished at all.
