SOLD - German Army Dagger with Portepee - E.u.F. Horster

Description

8/3/23 - This is an original WW2 production German Army Dagger by E.u.F. Horster. The dagger comes with a WW2 original Luftwaffe scabbard and silver portepee. The dagger blade has dark spotty oxidation freckled throughout each side. There are also a few light surface scratches and scabbard rub wear throughout. Maker stamped on the base of the backside of the blade. The hand guard has high edge wear and surface patina throughout. The dark orange handle is in great overall condition but there are a few hairline cracks at the base of the handle. The portepee has some fraying along the chord, but the knot is tight and completely intact. The scabbard has dark patina throughout and a small dent near the toe, but still fits nicely. The scabbard isn't correct for the dagger, but this is how it came to us, and quite possible is how the veteran brought this example back. Priced accordingly.
