Third Reich Labour Service "RAD" leader officer dagger with a "WKC, Solingen" marked nickel plated blade, with visible crossgraining, light scattered marks, moderate runner marks, and light freckling, predominately along the blade's edge. Standard RAD motto of "Arbeit adelt" is present and the blade is slightly loose in its fittings, though there is no indication of the dagger having been disassembled. The nickel silver plated fittings retain approximately 85% of their finish with most of the wear on top of the pommel. Off-white grip panels have light to moderate wear and the grip screw does not appear to have been turned. Nickel silver plated scabbard retains 80-85% of its finish with patina, with a one and half inch moderate dent four inches from the tip. A Heer deluxe hangar assembly is attached with moderate wear. CONDITION: Overall very good to excellent. WEZ
