Here we have a Model 1934 DLV Knife (German Air Sports Association) (Deutscher Luftfahrt-Verband Fliegermesser) The blade has been heavyily cleaned and buffed. In doing so the maker mark has been removed. Having said that it's bright and clean. It has a perfect tip and fit. The blade rates VG. The blue pebbled leather buffer pad remains. The scabbard looks decent. The original scabbard leather has bumps and bruises throughout. It retains 98% leather coverage. The scabbard fittings look great matching the hilt in color, wear and patina. The ball has been pushed in and all four screws remain intact. The throat is DLV marked. The hilt looks great! The grip shown wear. The enameled swastikas look excellent! 99% intact! The crossguard and pommel look great and have a nice patina. The crossguard is "K" marked. Finally the hanger is lost to time. A fine DLV very reasonably priced.
