WW2 German 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger by ALCOSO with Beautiful Dark Orange Grip

Here on offer is an impressive looking WW2 German 2nd model Luftwaffe dagger by ALCOSO with a beautiful dark orange grip.

The Pommel is in excellent condition with crisp hand-enhanced oak leaves and the swastikas retain some of the original gilt finish, which now has a dark patina.

The Grip is a beautiful dark orange coloured trolon/celluloid type and is complete with springy twisted brass wire, which is secure. The grip is in excellent condition and there are no cracks or splits to the finish.

The ferrule has the finely detailed oak leaf design.

The plated Blade measures 10.25” (26cm) in length and is in very clean condition, no rust or pitting, just bizarrely some scratch marks to all the chamfered flat surfaces? They don’t appear to be sharpening marks as the blade edges are blunt and look to be in original condition. I am sure some or most of these scratches would polish out with a good metal polish.

The leather buffer pad is now missing and you can see where it was originally held in place inside the crossguard.

On the reverse it has an ALCOSO, ‘ACS Scales’ makers trademark with the word SOLINGEN underneath.

The metal Scabbard is dent free and in excellent condition. It has an overall dark patina and the edges and lower faces, show plating loss.
The throat is held in place by a pair of round-headed screws.

The Dagger in the scabbard measures a total of 17” (43.2cm) long and weighs 365g.
