Germany. A Field Converted Fighting Knife Belonging to a Member of the Waffen-SS

Measuring 270 mm in length with the scabbard on, this dagger features a 145 mm long steel blade (magnetic), with an unsharpened edge and a semi-sharp tip. It is un-etched, but features a blood groove on both sides of the blade. It is equipped with a quillion-type finger guard that backs onto a grip that is lined on both sides with synthetic deer antlers, with the pommel in the shape of an eagle’s head. The rail for dagger attachment has been filed away, with the attachment button replaced for one that features a set of SS runes; marked “K.H.” on the right side of the metal grip; accompanied by its black painted fully metal (magnetic) sheath with tab for attachment to a belt; a worn field converted example, in overall very fine condition.
