Genuine WW2 Luftwaffe Fighting Knife Stamped with Official Stick Eagle “5” Waffenamt Stamp on the Blade
Here on offer is a fine example of a genuine WW2 Luftwaffe fighting knife stamped with official Stick Eagle “5” Waffenamt stamp on the blade.
The slightly curved light wood grip scales are in excellent condition with just some shallow dents and light scratches to the finish. They are held securely in place by three steel dome topped pins.
The shaped steel crossguard retains most of its original black paint.
The beautiful 6.6” dagger shaped steel blade still retains a bright finish with some surface usage scratches. One side has a long 6” cutting blade and the other a smaller 3.5” top cutting edge.
Stamped on one side of the ricasso is the official Stick Eagle “5” Waffenamt stamp that you can just make out.
I believe the “5” is the rarer type of mark found on these knives. They can be found with a ‘6’ or a ‘S’ or with nothing at all.
There is no makers mark on this knife and I have never seen one with a maker’s mark?
The original undamaged steel scabbard retains 99% of its black paint, with just some missing from the strong metal retaining clip on the back.
The knife fits snuggly and securely against the scabbard spring in the scabbard.
Overall this knife is in excellent to near mint condition and is the best example I have seen for a long time.
The blade is 6.6” (17cm) long and the whole knife measures 11” (28cm).
It weighs 235g.
