GERMAN / THIRD REICH RED CROSS DRESS DAGGER
A German Red Cross dagger came home with me from a recent Dallas Arms Collector’s Association show. I wasn’t planning to buy another dagger, but it was late on the last day, the seller had not done well at the show and needed some cash for his expenses.
The good: the grip isn’t cracked and is and there are no major scratches or gouges in the blade or sheath. No pitting or rust.
The less than good: there appears to have been a bubble in the celluloid when it was poured for the grip, as there is a tiny hole. Also, the pommel is a bit loose, the sheath is missing the rings, and the blade looks like it may have been cleaned or polished. Nevertheless, still a nice-looking example and a great displace piece. I need 295 for this one. Shipping and insurance for $20 to the lower 48. If you want more pictures, let me know.
