My Father brought this back from WW-II (have papers)

His papers list it as a dagger but I'm not sure what it is and would like to identify it and get an approximate value for insurance purposes.

The handle has a ball on the end with the Swastika and appears to have some king of thred wound in the knurls.
The sheath has the eagle holding the Swastika.
No further markings that I can see.
Apologies in advance if I didn't post this right and thank you in advance or your help

Sorry, the Eagle holding the Swastika is on the handle

You have a second model luftwaffe dagger. Little tough to put an exact value on it unless you can get some nice clear pictures. As with most things, condition is everything. However, take a look on the blade near the crossguard and see if you can find any type of makers mark.
Good luck!

It looks like a miniature to me.

You're right. That's a pretty shabby photo.
I'll take another one. There is no makers mark that I can find.

Lets see if this is a better image

Its a miniature 2nd Model Luftwaffee.Most of these were given out to companys that did work for or with the luftwaffee.Most have the companys name on one side of the blade.

It looks as though Wittmann has one on offer ...

... that is a marked example.

Any ideas on the date span that these were made?

The second model Luftwaffe dagger was introduced in 1937. So(IMO)I would say from '37 to about '41.

Thanks to all for the information.

Good collecting!
