Interesting 1st Model Luft by Horster

Early, Unit marked - 1st Model (1934/35) Luftwaffe Fliegerdolch/Borddolch by Horster of Solingen. The crossguard and scabbard have matching numbers: “FLEA.14”. Fliegerersatzabteilung 14. The plated, double edged, 12 inch long blade on this one has some age and stain. The etched double oval stylized Horster maker mark is nicely executed. The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit remains nice and tight. The blade rates Exc+. The blue pebbled leather buffer pad remains in place. The scabbard is constructed out of a steel sheet metal base that was covered in a blue textured leather. The leather is lost and the body painted in what looks like a period job the correct blue. The solid nickel-silver fittings look excellent. All of the five screws remain intact. The chain is solid nickel-silver with a twist to the lower section. The chain consists of 9 top ringlets and has 14 lower, connected to a well working early unmarked clip and equipment loop. The crossguard and pommel top are in wonderful condition with separately inserted brass sun wheel swastikas. Looks like the brass inserts were polished down to the base long ago. The grip is wood based and covered in a blue leather. It only has the odd scuff. The triple brass wire wrap remains completely intact.
