Title Luftwaffe flyer's dirk, 2nd pattern
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This is a nice example, with an Eickhorn blade in near factory finish, a nice silver-plated scabbard and the original gilding on the swastika on both sides of the pommel. These dirks were worn by all flight personnel of the Luftwaffe in WW2.

The only downside is the zinc crossguard, which, sadly, is showing signs of decomposition. Having said that, the zinc crossguard conforms to the Eickhorn factory pattern and undoubtedly was part of the dagger when it was made.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.
