Description

The blade is darkened with tarnishing but shows the Tiger Solingen logo well. Unfortunately, this dagger has been partially denazified with the swastika removed from the eagle on the crossguard.  Additionally one of the outward facing swastikas on the pommel has been removed although curiously there is a swastika hand-carved at the very top of the pommel.

The orange grip are present but showing cracks and one of the spirals of braided wire is missing.  

The scabbard retains about 30% of its silver wash finish with a darker patina showing where the finish has worn away.  One of the hanger fittings is also missing.
