Description:
A World War II German Luftwaffe second Pattern dress dagger a good example of a 2nd Luftwaffe Dagger marked 17 on the tang, with original portepee and hangers. The bright period upgraded plated blade on this piece looks great. It has a tight fit, sharp tip. There is some age spotting and surface scratches throughout. The original buffer pad remains intact. The nicely patinaed steel based, silver plated scabbard looks great but does show deep wear to the side worn closest to the body. It is wonderfully detailed with oak leaves and acorns and random pebbling throughout. Both dome head screws remain intact and it remains dent free. The matching patinaed cross guard looks immaculate, beautifully detailed throughout the eagle's feathers and wings along with the top side acorns and oak leaves. The steel ferrule and aluminium pommel are both nicely detailed and the pommel has the correct E. Pack signature spotting. The celluloid covered grip looks excellent being chip and crack-free
