A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A WEHRMACHT FIGHTING KNIFE OR ‘Nahkampfmesser’.

These have become extremely difficult to find. The last one I bought in the US in February and could have sold it 4x over!’Slightly smaller than the more common Luftwaffe fighting knife, these have no crossguard, a narrower single edged blade and a steel scabbard with large metal spring clip which enables it to be clipped to belts, boots or Y-strap equipment. A nice clean wooden grip in excellent condition. Original black paint to the steel scabbard. A MINT blade which is nicely marked on the riccasso. ‘hat 1942’. A really superb example.
