SOLD

VERY RARE MINT Original German NSDAP (NAZI PARTY) DLV Dagger With Hanger Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified.The DLV, “Deutscher Luftsport Verband” (German Air-sport Association), was established by forcibly, although legally, incorporating all civilian flying clubs, as well as the flying units of the SA and SS, into it in 1933. After 1935, when the secrecy regarding aerial re-armament was lifted, it served mostly as an Air force reserve and training ground for future members of the Luftwaffe. It was itself incorporated into the NSFK, “Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps” (National-socialist Flying-corps), in 1937. This F.&A. Helbig maker dager has about 98% percent of the original frosting still on the nickel mounts. The pommel with its three segmentations is in good condition. The crossguard center block features the inserted medallion which has a fine enameled swastika on both sides. The three sectioned wings also have most of the original frosting intact. The grip is a beauty with fine original leather showing very little usage (ALMOST MINT) and almost no age with nice grain. The scabbard leather is in the same condition showing no wear and no problems. The scabbard mounts are also heavily frosted particularly the upper mount. The lower mount is in good condition also with a fine lower ball. The mounts are retained by their original flatter head style screws. The hanging ring has a fine brown leather hanger being in excellent condition and retained by the 2 small, riveted ovals. There also appears to have been a name engraved on one of these ovals, but it is difficult to read with the frosting in the bottoms of the letters. The hanger is equipped with a fine conventionally shaped snap clip which is unmarked. Attached to the hanger is the original belt loop. The leather on this belt loop exactly matches the color and wear of the hanger and I am certain it is the loop worn with the piece. The throat is stamped with the propeller over the wings. The blade is bright throughout having no age toning and shows great cross graining as it should (see photos).  The Logo and the location “Solingen”. The leather blade buffer is in place.  A very fine example ALMOST MINT AND THE BEST WE HAVE SEEN IN YEARS! Nicely maker marked.  Scarce, issued example shows the expected age, wear and use.  In good ALMOST MINT CONDITION.
