Third Reich first model Railway dagger with a "ROBERT KLASS, SOLINGEN" marked blade with visible cross graining, light runner and scattered marks, and light freckling. Among advanced dagger collectors there is some controversy regarding whether a first model Railway dagger existed. Nickel-plated fittings retain 85-90% of their finish with patina, scattered marks, and nicks. Black trylon grip appears to be undamaged, and a Heer portepee is attached with very light wear. Steel scabbard has patina and light freckling throughout,with a half inch dent three inches from the tip. CONDITION: Overall very good to excellent. WZ
