Personalized 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger for R. Baum
M1937 Fliegerdolch für Offiziere. The frosted etch was a special order and privately purchased for a well-heeled officer. The etched pattern blade on this one is wonderful. The dark etch is crisp, correctly displaying the Luftwaffe eagle flanked by laurel leaf and berry sprigs in a intertwined floral motif. Often these blades were made in advance and the center panel left blank. The panel was later, upon order personalized. The blade is unmarked so likely purchased through a distributor. The blade on this one rates NM. The blue pebbled buffer pad is intact. The undented SMF scabbard is steel based and airplane grey plated showing period wear. It depicts nice detail throughout, with the random pebbling, oak leaves and acorns. There are some scratches to the reverse. The Alcoso burnished eagle crossguard has crisp detail throughout the eagle’s head, feathers, wings and top side embossed oak leaves and acorns. The steel ferrule displays a nice oak-leaf pattern. The Alcoso pommel looks excellent with centered mobile swas's encircled by oak leaves and acorns. The trylon grip has an old chip to the top pommel fit. The copper springy grip wire remains intact. It is in nice shape. Nice personalized dagger with potential for research.
