Hello to all,
I have never ventured into the edged weapons realm, but I am attempting to help a friend sell pieces he inherited. My main collecting habits have always leaned toward medals and badges, but after seeing some of this stuff, I wonder if I shouldn't pick some of this up too!
Here are some pictures of a Luftwaffe 1st pattern dagger, inscribed beautifully on both sides. One side has the German inscription, "In memory of my time in service" the other has the Luftwaffe eagle flanked by war adlers.
My friend was offered 1200 by a reputable dealer....that seems a little high to me, so I wonder....is there something special about this that I am missing? What is it and how much is it's value? Is this a rare maker? (Max Weyersberg) Any info is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
John
