EARLY RAD MANS HEWER BY WUSTOFF.

A really nice looking dagger and stemming from the early period of production when they were all solid nickel. ALL ranks of the RAD wore these dagger until 1938 when a specific Officers pattern was introduced. The only designation between officers and men in the early period, was the type of leather hanger they were worn with. Officers had a 2 piece hanger suspension, other ranks had a single, one piece hanger. This had been proven in period photos and a recent accessory catalogue find.
This early hewer is in beautiful condition throughout with no discernible damage and the heavily silvers nickel fittings have all got a great patina. Nice chunky stag grips. A very good blade. No sharpening with a little light clouding to an otherwise mint blade.
The Ed WUSTOFF trademark is etched onto the reverse riccasso.
Good looking piece.
