1st Model (1934/35) Luftwaffe Fliegerdolch/Borddolch. The plated, double edged, spear point 12 inch long blade on this one is very nice. The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit remains nice and tight. The blade rates NM. The blue pebbled leather buffer pad remains in place. The scabbard is constructed out of a steel sheet metal base that has been covered in a blue textured leather. The leather is in poor condition with lots of it lost. The remained has been helped with some blue leather wax. The solid nickel-silver fittings look excellent. Four of the five screws remain intact. The chain is lost. The lower fitting has only one screw and the fitting is a bit loose. The crossguard and pommel top are in wonderful condition with lots of lacquer remaining. The grip is wood based and covered in a blue leather. It only has the odd scuff. It is wrapped with springy wire wrap. So this is an earlier scabbard mated with a later zinc based hit. Why, when, who is lost to time. Someone is going to get a deal here.
