WWII German Army Officer Dagger by Alcoso with Portepee and Hangers

Description

11/5/26 - For sale is a WWII German Army (Heer) officer's dagger by Alcoso of Solingen, complete with its scabbard, portepee and hangers. Introduced in 1935, the Army dagger was worn by officers and senior NCOs as part of the walking-out and dress uniform, and complete examples with their original accessories have become increasingly hard to find. The blade is bright and clean, with the Alcoso scales trademark and "SOLINGEN" etched near the cross guard. The twisted orange celluloid grip is in very nice condition with no cracks, and the cross guard shows the Army eagle with crisp detail. The pebbled steel scabbard retains its oak leaf bands and rings, with some light wear to the finish. It comes with a silver bullion portepee and dark green velvet-backed hangers with silver brocade fronts, oak leaf fittings and an oval buckle, which show age, fading and light wear to the velvet. The portepee cord has a couple of areas of fraying. A nice, complete Army dagger set.
