HEER DAGGER
Third Reich Heer officer's dagger, 10 in. blade, 14.5 in. overall, with an orange celluloid-covered wood grip, wire taught, and capped by a circular pommel with oak leaf motifs. The cross guard depicts a national eagle with spread wings, with scrollwork at the ends of the quillions. The detail on the fitting remains very good. The nickel-finish blade bears the maker's mark of F.W. Holler company of Solingen, and the blade shows only the most minor running marks near the tip. A portapee of braided silver cord is attached at the grip. The metal scabbard is fully pebbled, with an oak leaf pattern on the hanger bands. It is straight and bears no dents, dings, or other damage. The hangers are faced with silver wire and continue the oak leaf motif on the buckles; they show wear from use, with minor oxidation to the metal fittings. Fine condition.
