Description

This is a fine example of a WW2 German 1st Model Luftwaffe Officer’s Dagger, produced in the early years of the Luftwaffe’s existence before the second model was introduced in 1937. This piece features an unmarked blade, which was a common practice for some manufacturers. The dagger’s fittings, including the crossguard and pommel, are crafted in early nickel silver, showcasing the distinctive Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika. The grip is wrapped in tightly wound wire over a wood core covered in blue leather, exhibiting some wear from handling.

The scabbard retains its original black anodized finish, with signs of honest use and some areas of wear. The chain hanger is marked with “Ges. Gesch.” on the clip, indicating a legally protected design. The lower slide on the dagger’s scabbard has a broken set screw, allowing the piece to slide freely up and down. Aside from this noted issue, the dagger is in excellent overall condition, retaining much of its original detailing.

The Luftwaffe 1st Model dagger was initially worn by officers and senior NCOs as part of their dress uniform, symbolizing rank and prestige within the newly established air force. These daggers were carried by both combat and administrative personnel and were often presented as gifts or awards to distinguished officers. This example, with its early design elements and complete set, remains a sought-after collector’s piece despite the minor flaw in the scabbard fitting.
