Hi all First real post from a newbie. These are pics of the two German daggers I have, the larger one is in great condition, and has an inscription on it. I did get them identified a couple of years ago, but seem to remember that the larger one is Naval. Hope you like them Neal
Hi, The one on the left is for the SA -it read should read 'alles fur deutchland/all for Germany- and the one on the right, I think is not navy, but I cant remember what it is for. I'll try and find out and post the answer if I have any luck. Jerry
Nice to meet you Neal. Nice pieces you have there. I don't think I have ever seen an S.A. dagger before. I bet thats worth something. Welcome aboard!
The DLV is missing it's leather scabbard wrap. Thomas Wittman has a service that can re-wrap these with period leather...if that is your sort of thing. The NSKK looks to have nickel fittings...that always makes it a bit more desirable. These are both good daggers for a beginner...near relic condition as daggers go.... Rich
Nice looking daggers! About your SA one - the scabbard doesn't look like its the original one. It appears to be a SS one to me (SA had brown scabbards, SS had black as far as I know). I have a SA Dagger (with the hanger), as well as a 2nd model Luftwaffe dagger with the white grip (apparently done to mimic the ivory grips of those held by flag officers). I'll post a shot of both if I have a change. Both are veteran bring-backs, and have been in my family for some time.
Hi guys Thanks for all the informative replies, I will do some research, now I know the types. Will post a pic of my Spike Bayonet if anyone would like to see it? I have a gas mask and a peice of a Messerschmitt, according to family legend! But will put them on the correct forum. I also have some paper work, like a 1944 map, and a doc signed by Monty I can see I am going to be spending a lot of time on this forum! Cheers Neal
