A M38 - 2.Modell Reichsluftschutzbund (RLB) Dolch für Führer by Paul Weyersberg of Solingen. Here's a great looking piece with an nice blade! The bright blade on this one is beautiful! It has good crossgrain that is best towards the hit. It has a perfect tip and solid fit! The blade rates an Exc++. It shows the common surface scratches and minor age spotting throughout. The buffer pad remains intact. The steel based blue pebbled leather scabbard body is in beautiful condition with minimal wear. The three fittings are all steel based and silver washed. They show period wear and patina. All five screws remain intact. The scabbard snuggly fits up against the hilt. The hilt is nickel based and silver washed. All of the fitting look great matching in color and patina. The obverse crossguard looks awesome with its "Art-deco" RLB eagle! The grip is wood based and is covered in blue pebbled simulated leather. It remains in excellent condition near perfect coverage. The obverse shows the starburst grip emblem and swastika that shows chipping say 75% of its black enamel remains. A great piece!”
