A German Second War D.L.V./N.S.F.K. Flyers Knife.
A very clean example of the DLV/NSFK flyers knife, faint traces of the Helbeig maker’s mark to the upper part of the blade, the lower part of the blade has been considerably shortened, blade length 15cm, the standard length should be 17.5cm. Good finish to all other portions of the dagger. Blue leather to the grip good. It would appear that the blue leather to the scabbard has possibly been replaced. Complete with its original hanging strap, ‘DLV’ marked to the upper throat, with its original leather washer between the blade. Below the cross guard are marking ‘Schl’ (school) to the other side ‘66’ or ‘99’. Good enamel to the swastikas on both sides, the fitting of a full length blade would be ideal for this nice dagger, very good condition £800-£1,200
