Third Reich RLB First Model Subordinate Dagger-Witte

Both the first and second model subordinate daggers are equipped with black painted or lacquered grips which are subject to chipping and wear, the grip on this piece however is in excellent condition, having a correctly pinned insignia with the majority of the blue enamel remaining. Pommel retains much of its silvering, as does the “art deco” Crossguard with eagle and mobile swastica.
Much crossgrain remains to the bright blade which has some minor age staining but a sharp tip and no damage to the edges. The Witte “Kroneck” trademark is on the reverse ricasso, and a thin black blade washer is in place beneath the crossguard. Majority of black finish remains to the scabbard which has an undented lower fitting with both screws present. A triangular scabbard ring holds a correctly attached leather hanger which encloses an “OLC” marked spring clip.
