Fresh out of the woodwork Fredericus 2nd Model Luft

[Gary Cain]

I just picked this up at an estate sale. This is the first Fredericus I have ever had.

It has clearly not been pulled from the scabbard for a loooong time!

I have one like it. This maker is not often seen.
Yours is very nice

Fridericus is a scarce maker to find on Luft2s.

I have two different versions of this mark.. differing notably in the shape and form of the 'S' in 'Solingen'.

Nice catch.

Outstanding John!!! it also appears that the "u" and "s" (the last two letters) in the name Fredericus are connected in one example and not on the other. I know we both are into Eickhorns (just a little) and we are aware of all the variants out there but your passion for variants on 2nd model Luftwaffe daggers is unprecedented. Thanks again for sharing.

I have one other Luft2 with the Fridericus maker mark on it, but the blade is weird

John,

That blade is very strange. Looks like someone left it in a damp environment. What a shame!

Yes, It looks like it was probably some kind of "acid rain". FP

Wow ! The most extreme case I've seen of a blade losing it's temper. Would take it just as a example of 'What Happens'.
