Army Dagger Help

[Butch]

Daggers are not my collecting field but I have just received this Army Dagger out of the woodwork today.

The dagger has a beautiful patina to it and comes complete with its hangers and knot. The blade has a covering of old grease or Vaseline on it but still keeps its needle point.

Regarding the maker of the dagger, it has the trade mark of A. SCHUTTELHOFER & Co.

The questions that I am asking are:
- is this a real dagger?
- is the maker of the dagger a rare manufacturer?
- and what era would the dagger have been manufactured pre war or later?

Hope someone can help.
Many thanks,

Gareth

Nice army dagger rig.

Yes, it is authentic.

Looking at the materials used I would put it around 1939 or so. Give or take a year.
Not a early early dagger nor late.

Schuttelhofer is seen on occassion and is considered a less common maker.
