Germany, 2nd GM.
Rare Government Dagger for high ranking civil servants, unmarked.
All metal parts in nickel silver with an old silver finish. All parts numbered "51". Eagle-head pommel, turned to the right in the same direction as the eagle on the hilt. Wooden handle trimmed with celluloid plates imitating mother-of-pearl. The design of the guard is typical of the ALCOSO style, with wings with raised tips. Steel blade, unmarked, with two small holes at the top of the pommel. Model scabbard with homogeneous patina identical to the frame.
(Wear and patina of time, homogeneous and honest dagger, without manufacturer's mark, in the doubt sold without guarantee. Good condition).
Note: A similar example without maker's markings is shown on pages 676 and 677 in Thomas M. Johnson's German Daggers of World War II.
