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. |

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

Not really, but I'd like to know what you think it's value might be?

Inscription reads: "For Bravery".
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,
