Hlinka Guard Dagger

German WWII > Edged Weapons > SS Daggers > Transitional SS Daggers

These guys were very nasty, trained by the SS they provided internal military police duties in Slovakia. They helped round up undesirables in Czech and Slovak. A very small group and numbers I think were around 3500 in total. These were the SS of the Czech Forces. Blade is bright example with some scuffs and minir sharpening. The blade is numbered as most of these are. Scabbard's paint is 97% intact with some traces of crazing and a few chips from period wear. The scabbard body has some bumps and evidence of wear. The fittings show light period wear. Solid hardwood handle displays nice grain and most of the factory lacquer remains. No chips, no cracks just normal light marks from period wear. The handle fits the pommel and crossguard fine. The crossguard is stamped "HG" as it should. Cool eagle-head pommel design. The top spanner nut is unturned. It could be snugged up a bit but I prefer to leave these things as they are. Check this link out to learn more about the Hlinka
