WW1 Imperial German Officer’s Ernst Pack & Sohne Solingen Trench Dagger / Fighting Knife With Carbine Bayonet Blade (Hilt Design Based On German WW1 Dress Bayonet) & Scabbard. ED 2207 - ED 2207

This is a an original WW1 German Officer’s trench dagger / fighting knife. This form of trench dagger were based on dress bayonets issued during WW1 (see page 50 of German Combat Knives 1914-1945 By Mery where similar hilt variants are illustrated). This dagger is 12 ¼” overall with a 7 ¾” steel blade similar to those found on German carbine bayonets (see page 180 item 403 of ‘The Bayonet Book’ by Watts & White). The blade is marked with the trademark of Ernst Pack & Sohne Solingen. It has the correct Eagle's head pommel with correct false bayonet button which pushes in but is correctly non-functioning & forms the Eagles eye and bayonet type mortice slot (this fighting knife was not made for fixing to a rifle). The undamaged chequered wood scales are secured with two rivets. It has an up-swept quillon cross guard. The dagger has its original blackened metal scabbard which has a ball end and frog locket. The scabbard retains some of its original black finish and has no dents. The price includes UK delivery. ED 2207
