FIRE OFFICERS TRIPLE ETCHED SWORD, PERSONALISED ETC BY W.K & C.

Whilst the Fire Dept in Germany were technically not part of the military, they seems to be treated as such and from Imperial times, Officers and then firemen were issued with parade swords and sidearms. This is a beautiful triple etch sword, which I think started life in the late 20’s or early 30’s. I am sure it was certainly carried into the Third Reich era too. Beautifully made, it has a he...  read more

EARLY ALL BRASS THIRD REICH LIONS HEAD PARADE SWORD

I do think swords are still underrated, but I can understand the difficulty in display and storage. However, I think they are great value for money and are NOT generally reproduced at all. This is a decent example of an early lions head parade sword by Alcoso. It’s pictured in the Angola sword book. Heavy cast brass hilt with red glass eyes in the lions head. Perfect black celluloid grip with o...  read more

A SUPER EXAMPLE OF A RLB 2nd Pattn MANS DAGGER BY KRONECK/ERNST WITTE.

The series of RLB daggers are known for their noticeable Art Deco design the the hilt and crossguard. Originally introduced in 1936, they were slightly redesigned later on on 1938 to include a prominent swastika grip badge instead of the star badge with RLB lettering.This is a really nice example in every way and includes the small integral leather hanger which is sadly missing from many dagger...  read more

RARE ARMY DAGGER MINIATURE ‘LETTER OPENER’ BY ALCOSO.

RE-LISTED DUE TO NON PAYMENT BY A COMPLETE ARSE (name available upon request!) As many of you know I have collected miniature daggers for a great many years. I’ve been asked to write a reference book on them, and that’s something I may do in the future. In the years I’ve collected, I have never had one of this type of miniatures until recently. Alcoso made the BEST range of miniature daggers du...  read more

AN ERASED SA ROHM DAGGER BY ARSCULAP WITH A STORY!!

I do like a story with a piece I buy, but the old adage goes ‘buy the item, not the story!’ However, this one seems to pan out. Here is a very nice, early SA dagger with an erased Rohm signature blade. The dagger has the small ‘Aesculap’ round trademark up very close to the crossguard. They only used this small mark on the Rohm pieces and Aesculap is a rare maker anyway. They also used to fin...  read more

A NAMED & STONE MINT ARMY DAGGER/STRAPS & KNOT.

The dagger has all of the original finish to all of the metal parts. No lifting, no damage, no wear! ...  read more

AN EARLY AND VERY UNCLEANED 1st LUFTWAFFE DAGGER BY RARE MAKER DAVID MALSCH.

Not been in a collection before and purchased by me from a ‘finder’ who described the owner where it came from as ‘smoking 100 a day’!! Well, in can actually believe it from looking at the dagger which is covered in yellow patina. Apparently it was on the wall backwards and you can see that one side is slightly cleaner than the other, just! Anyway, all solid nickel fittings with brass inset sw...  read more
