Army Dagger by Anton Wingen

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Army Daggers >

Here's an excellent example of an Army Dagger! The blade on this one is nice! The "A.W. Jr Solingen" maker mark is perfectly executed! It is dark, crisp and provides a beautiful contrast to the bright blade! The crossgrain is easily visible throughout. It retains a solid fit and ends at a slightly bent tip. The blade rates a solid Exc++ with a few wee speckles of age. The leather washer continues to remain intact. The dent free scabbard is steel based and nickel plated. It provides wonderful detail with the pebbling throughout and oak leaf and acorn bands! The original throat retaining screw remains intact. The alloy based, Wingen nickel plated crossguard also provides beautiful details throughout the eagle's head, wings, wreath and chest! The pommel and ferrule are also beautifully detailed with proud oak leaves and acorns! The plaster filled celluloid covered grip on this one shows honest wear and bumps, it could use a cleaning as there's some hand residue to the crevices. No cracks or splits. A correct and fine looking Anton Wingen Army
