A MOST UNUSUAL BAHNSCHUTZ 2nd Pattn. DRESS DAGGER.

I’ve not had a dagger quite like this with this type of construction. These BAHNSCHUTZ daggers are made mostly of aluminium. Pommel and crossguard are solid aluminium. The scabbard is steel with an anodised silver finish. However, the grip, on this example is also made of aluminium!! Never seen this before, as usually these are solid celluloid. It’s perfectly formed and finished in a black shiny anodised finish. It was not until I handled and touched the grip that I realised it was a solid metal!! The dagger overall is in average condition. The pommel edge has some slight damage to the edges. Crossguard is fine. The steel scabbard shows old surface rust spotting and has a few surface dents to the bottom reverse. The blade is unmarked, so no idea who made this unusual example. Blade is quite bright throughout and is a polished steel variety. There are some old finger smudges here and there.
These are rare daggers and highly sought after.
I have priced this example accordingly, bearing in mind the condition etc.(mint ones are £3500+) However, a great opportunity to acquire a rare dagger very reasonably.
