However, I am not buying the history of a pilot being shot down with this dagger...
These daggers were for parade use, and not something you'd wear in a plane.

Of course it could have been part of the cargo in a plane, for someone transferring somewhere.

Very interesting piece!!

Value, who knows??
An unaltered original german 1.st luft dagger would get anywhere from 400-1500USD depending on condition. Condition is everything.
This one also has an altered(shortened) chain hanger assembly.

Best regards,

I have to agree with this. Pilots did not carry dress daggers into combat. More then likely it was taken as war booty and converted. Having said all that it is a neat piece and a great conversation starter and it would be fun to own (if it was cheap that is). Clete
