I too have a Luftwaffe that needs the leather replacing however on both scabbard and grip.
I saw in the other post that a Don Swanson in Columbia, MO. does excellent restoration work.

However does anyone have an email for him? Is he a member here? I live in the UK so email would be the easiest way to contact.

Any help would be great.

Some photos of the dagger are here:
