6/9/20 - This is an original 1st model Luftwaffe dagger made by SMF. The dagger comes with an original scabbard and chain, as shown. Overall this piece is in excellent condition.

The stretched leather handle has light fading of the blue finish, but no major issues. The scabbard has some small scuffs on the leather. The chain is unmarked but has a strong clasp. One chain link is missing, replaced with old metal wire.
