Hello Winfreid,

I have a Luftwaffe 2nd dagger and scabbard with a maker mark Alcosa on the blade, and a set of books by Thomas M. Johnson to use as a reference. I don't consider myself an expert, but the swirling pattern and lack of pebbling density on your 2nd Luftwaffe dagger scabbard looks to be a known reproduction piece.

Regards,

I think this is a correct, period type B generic scabbard, these have the "swirles" warned of in early references and scare alot of folks..Kevin.

Orginal Herr Anton Wingen Solingen scabbard.

For me it is fine Winfried.

Please see below a picture from my archives of an Army by Anton Wingen that I sold. Note the swirls on the scabbard.
