1918 Au Lion paratrooper reissue trench knife.
This is a wonderful example of a WWII reissue trench knife to the paratroopers and it includes the original sheath . I was on doubt nickel or chromed by the paratrooper as many were to protect from the elements of weather during the war years..
The blade is extremely well marked and is full in length but missing son of the finish. One side of the guard had been removed as what they did when given to the jumpers so it would lay flat on the leg or hip.
price $595.00 O.B.O. TRADES WELCOME

German WW1 Trench knife

SS Rohm
Dedication Dagger
With full dedication on blade
"In Herzlicher Freundshaft, Ernst Rohm"
(In Cordial Comradeship, Ernst Rohm).
The blade shows pitting and cleaning. It is 100% original and not a repoduction of any kind !
The handle is in very fine condition and cross guard is numbered.

Prior to his "unmasking" as a traitor, Ernst Roehm was also the leader of the SS. In 1934, he distributed approximately 9900 SS daggers with his personal inscription on the reverse blade. These daggers were to honor individuals who had served with the SS prior to December, 1931. Other than the inscription, these pieces were identical to the standard M1933 SS dagger. After the Roehm purge, the inscription was ordered to be removed. Many examples were returned to the factory for grinding. Others were simply ground in the field by whatever means were available. Examples will occasionally be encountered with remnants of the original inscription remaining on the blade, but mostly none will remain. Some blades exist with an intact inscription, reflecting only the removal of the Roehm signature. Very very rarely is an example seen with a full, untouched inscription, as the holder would have surely risked a charge of treason. Although it was ordered that the dagger was to have the recipient's SS number stamped into the crossguard, only about 50% of existing pieces will reflect this.

This trench knife is complete with original scabbard, it is missing web belt hooks.
Blade has been sharpened but only very little, it is full bladed.

This fighting knife is almost as rare as they get. They were made out of heavy sharpening steels and given to the solders entering WWII. At the beginning of WWII there not enough fighting knives or commando knives.
This is one of the rarest known, it is pictured in Coles book.
It is without a doubt the most massive heavy blade to be found on any commando stiletto, and this stiletto had only one use and that was to be used to kill !
I also am including one of the few know original sheaths witch is in mint condition as is the knife.
~It is impossible to upgrade this knife~

This is one of the best I have ever seen !
It was never used, and the blade is very well marked.
It was never cleaned or sharpened. When they were shipped the blade was wrapped in wax paper and there is some of the remnants left on the blade. This knife is sold without sheath.

The knife is about mint but for a very small ding on the blade, all crossgraining is there.

In February 1933, Von Schirach decided to standardize the
HJ knife and introduced the standard 1933 HJ knife
The 1933 HJ knife was the first official edged weapon of the Third Reich

It is made up of all original parts from Nazi SS hats skulls and swords and bayonets.
The skulls have there back prongs as the sheath was put together after they were put through the leather to make the sheath.
This is with out a doubt a one of a kind knife and scabbard.
I feel the parts alone are worth the asking price.

Originaly made as a bayonet or to be used at the end of a pole. These were made in New Orleans by the Potts arms company. They had two rings to be used as a pole arm or a bayonet but these were removed so they could be used as a Bowie fighting knife. The blade looks to be unsharpened and still has the original polish.
