Captured dagger

Hi Guys,

Here's an interesting one, this is a German WWII Luftwaffer Officers Dagger, which I belive was an early 1st Model.
Apparently the German Officer was shot down in a dog fight and the dagger was altered to have the Soviet symbols laid over the Swastikas and the blade engraved and was then presented to the Soviet pilot who shot him down.

Looks like it was customized with a button and a kopek. I guess you use what you got around.
