A Fine Collection of German Daggers

A German Second World War Red Cross Enlisted Man’s Hewer
A magnificent blade with the marking ‘Ges Geschutz’ underneath the reverse side langet. Saw back blade with all cross grain finish remaining. The leather washer between the blade and the lower grip intact. There were only two makers of the Red Cross hewers, Robert Klaas and P. D. Lunschloss, the only way to identify who is the manufacturer of this piece is by removing the grips, which we have not done. The grips are completely undamaged. All of the plating remaining to the cast upper grip. Two minor scratches to the excellent paint finish to the scabbard without any indentations or loss of plating to the lower scabbard mount. A very fine example, difficult to better, excellent condition £500-£700

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, A Fine Collection of German Daggers.
