I like photographing edged weapons as much as I like stabbing myself in the eye with sharp sticks, so if you see me with one you know its freaking nice.

This piece was pulled yesterday by a buddy and it was tied down into the box it came home in and its a screamer. There was some assorted insignia on no consequence except for the shooting lanyard I have up which I grabbed thinking it was Luftwaffe. The dagger was enough on its own and neither one of us realized the guys insignia and photograph from 1945 was under the padding until I was walking out.

I would put this up against any dealers "Mint" and bet it would beat it, its just that nice. But for arguments sake I will say near mint and you will be upside happy, but will try and break it down here a little.

The pommel is just stone mint, no strikes or dings to the top and gilding to both swastika's is really 99.5% if not all there. Grip is flawless with tight war and no chips cracks or any type of flaw that I can see, its just mint and I do not think this has been apart ever.

Crossguard is near mint with the slightest rub to the rear and I guess the owner might have worn this once or twice. Scabbard is a total screamer in the gunmetal grey and is mint. The blade is mint and like a mirror and just the standard witness marks from the runner's and I have not touched it. The portapee is to the piece and is mint, the hangers which I photographed show slight wear but are beauties none the less. The photograph of the vets is postcard style and simply states Germany 1945 to the rear and the sleeve insignia is visible in the photo and his original example is included as well. Insignia is for the 999th Signal Service Company operating from December, 1943 - January 1944

A very nice dagger and if you want to have just one example for representation, this would really be almost impossible to upgrade. All this being said, ask any questions you like if not addressed and its a beauty.
