A LUFTWAFFE FIGHTING KNIFE ‘5’ MARKED BLADE.

A very good example of this popular collectable. A standard issue Luftwaffe fighting knife. Good wood grips with triple rounded steel rivets. Steel crossguard. Very nice scabbard with all original factory black paint. Reverse has all attachment springs present. Blade is undamaged. A little grey in places due to age but no pitting, damage or sharpening. Riccasso is stamped with the tiny issue ma...  read more

A VERY EARLY ALL BRASS ‘WRANGLE’ OFFICERS SWORD.

Another one from the sword collection. This early example of a ‘WRANGLE’ sword is part of the Field Marchal series of swords made by Carl Eickhorn. This particular example is not marked ‘Eickhorn’ but still has the ‘Ges Gesch’ stamp under the crossguard which proves it’s an Eickhorn. It’s also an early piece as the triple grip wire is all brass rather than aluminium which they used later. In ve...  read more

A NICE EARLY ALL BRASS WEHRMACHT OFFICERS SWORD BY ALCOSO.

Another sword from this large collection. A very good example of an officers all brass hilted ‘dove head’ parade sword by ALCOSO. The market for parade swords and daggers during the 1939’s was huge and very competitive. All officers were required to own a dagger AND a sword for parade purposes. Each manufacturer had their own specific designs for each, so eventually there were literally 100’s o...  read more

EARLY ALL BRASS WHERMACHT OFFICERS SWORD BY RARE MAKER.

This is the first sword in the listing of a large German WW2 sword collection recently acquired. More to follow. There are 15-20 swords, mainly army, but naval and several Luftwaffe officers dress swords.
This example is quite unusual and I can’t remember seeing this particular pattern before. It is also not listed in the Swords of the Third Reich book.
A very nice all brass ‘do...  read more

WW2 JAPANESE NCO’s KATANA IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.

Whist these NCO’s swords were factory made in their 1000’s, they have still become a firm collectors favourite.

SS OFFICERS 1936 CHAINED DAGGER MID-PERIOD IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION.

I was very pleased to buy this super dagger from a local contact, who thought of me first!! This is the dagger that all dagger collectors aim for and treasure as the highlight of their collections. This is a mid-period piece produced when the RZM took more control of the procedures. The crossguard are are nickel plated over the base metal alloy, but have remained uncleaned and are in near perfe...  read more

THIRD REICH POLICE NCO’s PARADE SWORD BY EMIL VOOS.

Not a common maker for Police swords. This is the NCO’s model which is a little less ‘fancy’ than the Officers type. Plain nickel plated D guard with smooth pommel cap. Some plate lifting to the inside of the guard. Black ebony wood grip with horizontal grooves, but no grip wire like the Officers one. Smaller police eagle inset into the middle of the grip. Scabbard has some original black pain...  read more

NEAR PERFECT EXAMPLE OF NAVY DAGGER BY HOLLER WITH HAMMERED SCABBARD.

What a nice looking dagger this is and has all the classic Holler identifiers. All brass fittings are very clean and a great colour. Cream celluloid grip with trademark Holler ‘springy wire’ wrap. An extra cost hammered scabbard with Holler ‘straight across’ scabbard bands. Blade is stone mint with full etch both sides, and again because it’s a Holler, they are sailing ship etched. FW Holler on...  read more

AN EXTRAORDINARILY NICE EXAMPLE OF EARLY ‘33 RZM SS DAGGER.

Sadly coming from the collection of a deceased friend of mine. This is a beautiful example of a SS mans dagger dating from 1936, with an RZM code M7/14. 1936. This is for the company P.D. Luneschloss, Solingen. Produced in the very same year the 19:6 SS chained dagger for Officers was introduced. This dagger is a textbook representation of the changeover period materials. The crossguards on thi...  read more
