Description

This Red Cross Officer's Dagger is in fine overall condition. The hilt fittings have dull nickel plating. The pommel is still nice and crisp throughout its edges and the cover screw appears to be untouched. The cross-guard is in good condition with its oval disks on each side. Front Disk is cracked. The reverse disk is engraved with: "DRK In Treuer Kameradschaft 9.11.1939" and the obverse disk features a half closed-winged eagle clutching a cross in his talons. There is a raised out mobile swastika on the bird’s chest. The grip is a fine deep orange color . This grip is in good condition with minor cracks, yet a little loose.

The scabbard has good nickel finish throughout. The plating is good throughout having a bit of age. The rest of the pebbling is still nice and crisp and has 80% plating. The throat is retained by two nickel dome head side screws.

The blade is nice and bright throughout. It appears to have all of its graining in the surfaces with a needlelike tip. The ricasso has been nickel-plated in the normal way. This blade remains in a mint state having only the normal runner marks on the ricasso area. The blade is unmarked. This blade is protected by an in place black leather buffer.
