Extremely rare German Railway Dagger, 1st model, Third Reich period.

Extremely rare German Railway Dagger, 1st model, Third Reich period.

This is one of the rarest Germanic daggers on the market. It is essentially a standard Wehrmacht dagger, but it has two major differences. The first is that the celluloid grip is black, not white or orange like the Army daggers.

The second is that the Army model has straight eagle wings, while this model has slightly curved wings. The manufacturer is Robert Klass of Solingen.

The dagger shows obvious signs of age, slightly corroded in some areas, but it is perhaps rarer than an SS dagger.
