ALL ALIMINIUM ‘LAST DITCH PRODUCTION’ 1st LUFTWAFFE DAGGER.
I have had a few of these daggers over the years, but not many. The last time was 4+ years ago and I found 2 at an antique centre in Cardiff. They are all identical in construction. It is my opinion that these were ‘last ditch’ attempts at producing these things, and as raw materials were very short once the war had really taken hold, they were made from whatever they had, and improvised with e... read more

LUFTSCHUTZ BLUE MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARMBAND.
A nice example in the typical sky blue rayon material used on a lot of Luftschutz armbands. Has a white cross woven into the material ‘bevo’ style. It also has a nice ink stamp for the issuing Stadt or town, although the crest and name of the town are too blurred to read properly. Machine sewn up the rear and it also has the tiny numbers ‘22’ also sewn into the cloth. read more

LUFTWAFFE 2nd.Pattn. DAGGER WITH DEEP ORANGE GRIP, OWNERS NAME ON THE BLADE & HANGERS.
Quite a stunning looking dagger as the deep tangerine orange grip really makes it look different. It has the nickel plated type hilt fittings as well as the nickel plated type of scabbard. Grip has a single twisted wire wrap. Scabbard has a little age to it and a few bits of spotting/lifting but otherwise is fine. No dents or damage.

LEATHER SWORD PORTAPEE FOR THIRD REICH FIRE OFFICERS .
Identical construction to a standard army officers sword knot. However, this has a black leather strap with triple silver lines running the length. The acorn ball is all silver bullion wire and the little slide is black and silver. The insert at the base of the acorn is bright carmine red. The knot has been on a sword at some time, but the leather is all fine and supple. read more

PAIR OF ARMY DAGGER HANGERS WITH WIDER STRAPS.
Whilst these hangers are a normal configuration, the bullion and velvet straps are noticeably wider and fit the buckles very tightly. Thisnhscwhat I meant about variations in construction. Whist they ostensibly look the same, they are all different in some way. This has the oak leaf decorated top box clip DRGM marked. Standard bucked and de-luxe push up lower clips. The straps are in good order... read more

SET OF ARMY DAGGER HANGERS WITH METAL SWING TOPS & DE-LUXE FITTINGS.
A very nice set of earlier army daggers hangers. A more ‘de-luxe’ set. Obviously cost more! These have the box clip at the top cast with oak leaves and DRGM marked. There are two metal tabs which are riveted to the top of the straps. Also engraved with oak leaves and DRGM. These are designed to let the hangers swivel with movement and prevent wear. The buckles and lower de-luxe push up clips, s... read more

SET OF SLIGHTLY LONGER ARMY DAGGER HANGERS WITH BRASS/GILDED FITTINGS.
A good set of hangers, which are quite long, have been used properly and have brass top box clip and brass buckles. I am not sure if both of these were silvered at some time, as I cannot see any plating remaining, so they COULD be a set of General Officers dagger hangers. They do look good in this colour. There even seems to be some gilt remaining to the surfaces of the lower clips etc. Bullion... read more

SET OF ARMY DAGGER HANGERS WITH LARGE EYELETS.
I purchased a small collection of dagger hangers recently, mainly army and Luftwaffe. It’s very interesting to see the vast variety of variations, there are literally dozens of manufacturers alternatives.
This is a very good set of standard hangers with box type top fitting and lightweight oak leaf buckles. The aluminium eyelets in the cloth underneath the buckles is huge. I have seen t... read more
