Early 2nd Model Leader RLB with Hangers

German WWII > Edged Weapons > RLB Daggers > RLB 2nd Model Leader Dagger

Some wonderful features on this early example! The bright blade on this one is nice with lots of crossgrain. The acid etched "ACS" maker mark is dark, crisp and beautifully executed! The crossgrain is stunning as it runs the full length from hilt all the way to the tip! The tip comes to a sharp point and the fit is just perfect! The blade rates an Exc++. It shows the slightest spotting throughout. The original blue pebbled buffer pad remains intact. The steel based, dark blue pebbled leather covered scabbard is in excellent condition! It has the odd scuff yet retains 100% coverage and continues to hold a nice seam. The three solid nickel scabbard fitting have nicely patinaed with time and matches the hilt fittings quite nicely. All five screws remain intact. Peek at the throat and you can see an early inspection mark. The hilt remains in wonderful condition as well. The RAD eagle crossguard is a nice feature with nice looking detail! The blue pebbled leather grip retains 100% coverage! Very nice! It has the properly pinned swastika. The swastika's enamel is 95% intact. The enamel on these were very thin and it is extremely hard to find a perfect one. Included is an original set of hangers that are absolutely textbook in everyway. Finally finishing this one is the correct RLB loop, see how it matches the hangers? Impossible to find! This whole piece is in excellent condition! You will be a proud owner of this one!
