Luftwaffe NCO Dagger

[Maarten]

Hello,

Can someone tell me if this Luftwaffe Dagger is a good one , or a bad one?

Can I expect a price between 400 - 500 euro's or is it going to be more or less?

Got these pic's from seller.

Maarten,

Looks like a nice original Luftwaffe 2nd model officer's dagger. I would say, from what you show, that the value should be $427-$475. I believe, from what I can see that E400-E500 would be on the high side.

Your blade picture isn't too good, what is the condition of the blade? Is it maker marked? If so, some rarer makers will command a higher price merely because some collectors buy according to the marks, sometimes doubling or more the average price of such a dagger.

The dagger is made by Paul Weyersberg and the blade is still fine.

Based on what's visible in the photos I would guess that it's an original dagger but would agree that the price seems a little high.

Maarten,

Weyersberg is a common maker of Luft 2 daggers so no bump in price there. I would suggest talking the guy down or looking at another one.

Are the dagger fittings ( pommel and crossguard ) in cast heavy - brass metall or the common aluminium parts ?

While the blade photo makes seeing detail almost impossible, does it look like it's been retipped. May be the photos but it looks like the bottom edge of the blade lacks the correct curvature.

Better pics needed.

The tip certainly looks like something is amiss with it.
