2nd Luftwaffe maker Carl Wusthof, Solingen

[heers68]

Winfried, Thanks for the pics.. this is what I would have expected for the era of this dagger 38',39',40'?, a shouldered tang..

John, Perhaps yours with the tapered tang was one of their very first Luft 2nds using left over Heer blades??

Best, Kevin.

Kevin:

I looked at my dagger again... and it has the partial taper or as you call it, the shouldered tang.

Sorry for the confusion.
