Just pick up from one of my adds one lot of 10 German daggers and one LW sword, this was probably my best Vets buy as far as daggers.
I collect helmets so i need your help on this one, I tried to find other for sale on web sites but all were sold with no indication of value.
can you brothers collectors give me an idea of the value of the rlb dagger please.
Condition are very good.

Thank you

Giorgio

1st Model RLB -Em.
We have recently seen one of these WKC blades here. I'm no authority on these but I heard from old time collectors that these were "parts" piece daggers put together by Jim Atwood in the 60's. Another sign I'm told is there is no "K" stamped on the end of the cross guard wing. Can you check?
Hanger looks SA to me.
Let's see what others may say.

no K that I can see, anything is possible this guy start collecting this after the war from friends so I have no way to tell were each single dagger was taken

Hi ItalianWarFront,
I was looking at your fine RLB and thinking DLV.
Nothing wrong with this dagger. A classic WKC 1st Model em. Shows all components except for the hanger are correct.
Because of the missing proper hanger I would put this dagger at about $2,000.
Nice piece.

Regards,

Thank you

Will follow your sugestion and let' see
Should I remove the hanger before I sell the dagger?

Giorgio

Yes, I would.
it doesn't add anyhing to it and is IMO detracting.
Plus there are guys here that would be glad to buy it from you for their SA dagger that is missing one.

I got 2 SA in the same group but both have brow strap, is black for...?

IWF, black is for NSKK or S/S. Is there any stampings on the leather? Regards, Leipzig
