THIRD REICH FIGHTING KNIFE.(PUMA?)
One of the many know designs of fighting knives used by all ground troops during WW2. Wehrmacht, SS etc. A used example so the blade has been sharpened etc but not shortened. A nice smooth rounded wood grip with 3 flat rivets. This is probably a Puma made knife as it is virtually identical to examples with the red bakelite grips. Small oval crossguard. Original black painted scabbard with sing... read more
THIRD REICH POLICE BAYONET BY ALCOSO WITH FROG AND KNOT.
A really nice example of a long police bayonet with black scabbard and frog (City/town police). Early heavy nickel construction with stag grips. This one has a working mortice button and slot, so could fit on a K98 rifle. This is a typical Weimar Police re-issue, so has had the clamshell removed, blade, scabbard and grips shortened and Third Rich alloy police badge affixed to the grip by the ar... read more
“SPECIAL OFFERING” - EARLY DLV FLYERS KNIFE - UNIT MARKED.
This has just arrived from Scotland and is a very interesting dagger. The downside is that the blade is not the best, and at some time in its life, has been shortened/re-tipped. However, the condition of the rest of it helps to make up for that, and it has been priced accordingly.
All solid nickel pommel and crossguard. Perfect inset swastikas in the crossguard. All parts are uncleaned. ... read more
RED CROSS ‘SAW-BACK’ DAGGER WITH ORIGINAL FROG.
One of the several daggers purchased from a private collection last week. All have not been offered to the collecting community for over 30 years. This is an extremely good example of a parade dagger carried by the German Red Cross.
I’ve always wondered why an organisation such as the Red Cross carried daggers at all, but during the 1930’s every organisation received the para-military t... read more
A VERY GOOD ‘USED’ HITLER YOUTH ARMBAND.
Of standard manufacture with the red cotton base with white strip as part of the material. A nice ‘bevo’ swastika machine sewn to the band. In very good used condition with some of the original cotton remaining where it was sewn to a sleeve. Ideal with a HJ dagger display or similar. read more

ONE OF THE BEST EARLY SA DAGGERS I HAVE OWNED IN A WHILE!
From a private collection in South London. This dagger has not been on the market for over 30 years. It’s a super piece, in virtually MINT condition and is complete with its original early 3 piece hanger (£250 on its own!). All solid nickel fittings throughout. A lovely deep brown hardwood grip with nickel eagle and perfect SA button. Lower crossguard is Gau marked Nm (Nordmark). The scabbard i... read more
A VIRTUALLY MINT HJ DAGGER WITH MOTTO!
Still one of my favourite daggers, even though so many were made. To find one in this condition these days is few and far between. This is a mid-period dagger, as it carries both the RZM code as well as the makers trademark, both deeply stamped into the reverse of the blade.
This hilt is virtually mint, with heavy nickel plating throughout and NO evidence of wear from the cross strap et... read more
ARMY DAGGER WITH RARE MAKER, STRAPS AND BULLION KNOT.
Whilst army daggers are one of the most common still available, due to the numbers issued, some have become more desirable due to the rariety of certain makers. Many manufacturers made them, but like SA daggers, there were quite a few smaller makers, with any of thdir products becoming highly desirable! This is one of those, with THIS army dagger being made by the HENKELS company.
In l... read more
ITALIAN MVSN 1936 OFFICERS DAGGER WITH CHAINS.
Perhaps one of the most elegant of the WW2 Axis dress daggers, and always popular with collectors.
Introduced in 1935/6 to replace the 1st Pattn dagger which had a single rear strap fixing. The chained officers version either had twin leather straps or the brass metal chain, as this does.
The dagger itself remained the same in the ‘upgrade’. A heavily Art Deco influenced eagle h... read more
“SPECIAL OFFERING” - EARLY RAD HEWER BY CARL EICKHORN.
If I do manage to buy items reasonably, then I do try to reflect that in the price I ask. This continues to be an expensive hobby, so I don’t want to scare off collectors, especially prospective ones!!!
This is a very early RAD hewer by Carl Eickhorn and carries the small oval 1933-35 Eickhorn trademark. This would have been produced just after the ‘full stag’ hilt was discontinued. As i... read more
