German Model 1937 Luftwaffe Officer Painted Grip Variation Dagger by Robert Klaas***STILL AVAILABLE***

German Model 1937 Luftwaffe Officer Painted Grip Variation Dagger by Robert Klaas-This piece is equipped with aluminum hilt mounts. The pommel exhibits a grey finish and remains in excellent condition showing little to no wear. The cross guard is in matching condition and finish to include rear pebbled surface of the reverse guard. The grip is an interesting variation occasionally encountered on pieces from Klass. Though many are aware of their black trolon grips being painted white, the wood variation isn’t as well known. Apparently Klass was looking for deals or cost saving options when it came to grips. This is one of the wood-based grips that was painted white and sold during the period. It remains in good condition wrapped with twisted aluminum wire and retaining 85% of the original white paint. The steel scabbard also has an airplane gray color and is dent free exhibiting light age throughout. The aluminum pebbled panels and bands are still quite crisp, and the throat is retained
