Red Cross Leader Dagger

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Red Cross and Social Welfare Daggers > Red Cross Leader Daggers

A Model 1938 Deutschen Rotes Kreuz (DRK) Führer Dolch. The bright blade on this one is has a ton of crossgrain. It's perfect except for a couple stains. It retains a nice and tight fit and the tip comes to a perfect point. The blade rates NM. The original black leather buffer pad remains intact. The steel based, nickel-silver plated scabbard has some stain and oxidation. It remains dent-free and retains 90%+ of its plating with the worse loss to the reverse. Both throat retaining screws remain intact. The zinc based, nickel-silver plated crossguard is in decent condition with the medallion displaying fine vaulting to the swastika on the bird's chest and the cross in its talons. There is some plating loss. The pommel screw cap has not been turned but the pommel itself is heavily oxidized and has some surface cracks. The orange dual speckled trylon grip is undamaged. It is a tiny bit lose but I do not want to take this apart to tighten it a 1/8 of a turn.
