Parts dagger question

[Burkhard45]

I just picked up this parts dagger. The grandfather of the person it came from brought it along with 2 visors back from the war. I have a question about it because it has a army cross guard and what appears to be a 2nd luft handle. Any insight?
Thanks, Hayden.

Yes dagger grip looks like 2. model Luftwaffe dagger type.
Crossguard, blade and ferrule are Eickhorn 4. type.
Scabbard is also Eickhorn 4. type, but with WKC style screw?

Mr. Schlange, how many books have you written? I'm contacting you next time I have a "Parts Dagger" question!! Holy Cow!!!

Would it be worth it to try to find a correct army Handle and pommel for this dagger or is this dagger considered solely a parts dagger at this point considering the denazification and the very tip of the blade broken?

[Billy G]

Yes, it would be considered a parts dagger due to the grip but even as a parts dagger, I suspect this particular dagger would have little value with incorrect grip (which is also kissing the grip wire), broken blade & denazified crossguard. I suspect it would have little collector value in general & I wouldn't do anything with it unless this particular dagger has some personal significance to you.
