Interesting Alcoso 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

Another solid example of a 2nd Luft! The almost matte blade on this one looks good. It has a tight fit, sharp tip and the acid etched "AWS Alcoso Solingen" maker mark is nicely executed! Overall the blade rates Exc+/Exc++. Some of the crossgrain remains visible. There is some age grey and spotting throughout. It may also have been cleaned at some point. The original buffer pad remains intact. The steel based, silver plated scabbard looks great. It is wonderfully detailed with oak leaves and acorns and random pebbling throughout. There is some minor oxidization spotting throughout. The single screw remain intact and it remains dent free. The matching patinaed crossguard looks awesome! It is beautifully detailed throughout the eagles feathers and wings along with the top side embossed acorns and oak leaves! The steel ferrule and pommel are both nicely detailed! The wood based celluloid covered grip looks excellent being chip and crack-free! The Alcoso specific single strand aluminum wire wrap remain in perfect condition and has a nice and tight fit. For those of you who are saying to yourselves, "Oh that looks funky..". Well, you're right and it completely textbook, that's how they made these, see Wittmann's reference pg 196! An interestesting late war Alcoso variant.
