This Land Customs Official's Dagger is in TOP condition. Model 1937. The total length is 41.0 cm. The Dagger has the maker mark Alcoso Solingen.
The carved wooden grip is covered in dark green leather. This leather remains in fine condition. Much of the original grain has been smoothed down but the grip looks fine. It is tightly wrapped with twisted silver wire. The aluminum crossguard is a beauty, with fine, smooth surfaces on the reverse. The eagle has the traditional wing tips which curve upward, and retains full, sharp detailing throughout. The top of the pommel cap shows some normal wear and has a couple of minor hits along the edges.
The blade is in Near MINT condition, a mirror finish. This blade is stamped on the obverse and reverse with the “Alcoso Solingen” Logo.
The scabbard shell is a fine, straight example, constructed of steel. It is covered in original dark green leather which remains in excellent condition, with only modest wear and most of the grain. It nicely matches that used on the grip. The mounts are nickel-plated steel and remain in excellent condition. They are the type with decorative lines on obverse edges, rained by headless screws set on the left hand side. The throat is the type that is built into the upper scabbard mount.
Nice dagger in superb condition!
