WWII NAZI GERMAN LUFTWAFFE MOURNING DAGGER WW2

Original WWII Nazi German Luftwaffe Officers Dagger. Roughly 29cm long bright nickel/silver plated double edged drop forged steel stiletto style blade with a flat central plane. Maker marked to "E.F. Horster". The dagger has a well defined nicely detailed cast, aluminum cross guard ferrule and pommel. The cross guard features a stylized national eagle with down-swept wings clutching a swastika to the obverse with a random pebbled field to the reverse. The top edge of the cross guard has an ornate embossed oak-leaf pattern. The cast ferrule has a repeating embossed oak-leaf pattern. The orb shaped pommel features an embossed oak-leaf pattern encompassing a dual encircled canted embossed swastika on a pebbled field background to both the obverse and the reverse. The dagger has a molded black Bakelite grip with the correct fine twisted silver/aluminum wire wrap inset into the diagonally angled grooves. The grip is in overall mint condition with no chips or cracks. The dagger also comes complete with its original magnetic sheet steel scabbard. The scabbard features a pebbled field to both the obverse and the reverse with smooth side panels. The scabbard has an ornate embossed oak-leaf pattern to both the obverse and reverse of the bottom tip. The scabbard also has sweated on alloy hanger suspension bands with an ornate embossed repeating oak-leaf pattern. The hanger suspension rings are both intact. The scabbard's top throat has its retaining screw intact. Very Good.
