SOLD

Original WWII German Army (Heer) OFFICER’S DAGGER. (Heer Offizierdolch) By Paul Weyersberg  Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified. This Paul Weyersberg Army Dagger is of initial production. The hilt mounts are constructed of brass and retain all of the original silvering. The pommel shows only minor traces of wear to the rim and upper surface. It is the style with fourteen oak leaves, and each of these leaves shows evidence of fine hand enhancement. The crossguard eagle is a great looking bird. It retains full detailing throughout the eye and beak, was well as to the cross checkering on the breast. The wings, wreath and vaulted swastika are also finely rendered. The grip of this dagger is the “slant” type which we only see on early production pieces. The  the grip is very food except for a few small spots and is a dark shade of orange. Wrapped about the hilt is what appears to be the original portepee. It shows some minor fray on the areas where rubs against the dagger, but overall it it still in good condition. The scabbard shell is constructed of brass and has a very slight dent. This scabbard has very fine pebbled panels and beautifully rendered oak leaves on the carrying bands. The throat is retained by a pair of headless screws.  The blade of the dagger is a plated example, something we see on early pieces. The nickel plating is still bright and good, and although there is a minor amount of scabbard wear in the surfaces it is not bad. The tip remains sharp. The reverse is etched with the Weyersberg Wreathed Sword trademark and the original small brown blade buffer is in place. A very fine Army Dagger, in a very rare pattern. Nice period used dagger   captured by a U.S. Veteran   and brought home as a war trophy.
