Interesting Early Red Cross EM Dagger

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

Here's the earliest example of a Red Cross EM Dagger I've ever seen. The bright blade on this one has been cleaned at there is spotting and pitting in the center area. Some crossgrain remains and the teeth on the saw back are in near perfect condition! To the reverse of the blade is nicely stamped "GES. GESCHUTZT", just behind the crossguard. It has a nice solid fit to it as well. The blade rates an Exc. It shows some common age throughout. The leather washer is tightly in place. The steel based, black anodized scabbard retains 99% coverage and it remains completely dent free! Yes, I know that these are normally painted. This one is definitely period anodized, so it is likely one of the earliest made. The plated fitting have some wear and you can see come of the copper flash they used in the preplating has worn through. Interesting you can also see copper on the frog lug. It shows some wear throughout. The nickel plated scabbard fittings look great! They retain 98% plating coverage and match the hilt fittings in color and age. The lower is a slip-fit most closely associated with P. D. Lüneschlöss manufacture. The alloy based heavy nickel plated hilt looks great matching the scabbard in color and wear. The medallion on the crossguard has fine vaulting to the swastika on the bird's chest and the cross in its talons. The correct grip plates are in perfect condition! They are tightly secured by two steel screws. Comes with an early damaged frog with copper rivets. Overall this is a solid example! Pick it up today!
