Description:
(((((((Sold Pending Fundss)))))))))))))) This is an example of a very rare German Red Cross (DRK) Officer's Dagger, complete with its nickel-plated scabbard and portepee.  German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz) Leader's Dagger

Measurement Length with scabbard:  ~ 15 Inches
Blade:
  • Blade Length ~ 9.8 inches
  • Nickel-plated steel blade
  • Unsharpened edges
  • Needle -like tip
  • Blade is unmarked. 
  • It has faint scratches, common to extraction and return to the scabbard. 
Details:
  • Black pebbled leather washer at the cross-guard junction remains intact. 
  • The pommel, cross guard and pebbled scabbard are finished in a dark nickel plate.
  • The oval disk incorporates the distinctive DRK insignia (the eagle with a swastika on its chest standing upon the International Red Cross symbol).
  • The orange synthetic grip is intact and solid and smooth and free of chipping.  The one side of the grip is a lighter color - could be from exposure to light.
  • The original aluminum portepee is still in place.  There are some areas of light wear but otherwise in very good condition.
  • The scabbard is straight, exhibiting a nice pebbling effect, with contact marks and small amount of loss of the nickel plating (patina) throughout and no real dents that I can see.
  • The two bands are plain, with the affixed scabbard suspension holes being rectangular. The detachable double strap fabric hanger is constructed of aluminum facing edged with red strips and sewn to velvet backs, with the oval buckles bearing no design, with functioning spring-loaded clips attached at the scabbard end.
Overall a very nice piece to add to a collection.  See details in the pictures.
