WWII German Red Cross Dagger. This Deutsches Roten Kreuz-Subordinate Hewer features a 10.5''(26.6cm), long, broad, blunt-tipped polished steel blade with deep and wide fullers and a staggered saw-toothed edge. Thick brown leather washer is present; crossguard langets and pommel all have a nickel/silver-plated finish retaining much of their factory lacquer.

The hewer comes with its original black painted steel scabbard with matte nickel/silver-plated upper and lower fittings. The scabbard body retains 99% of its black enamel paint. Condition is excellent to near mint. Est.: $600-$800.
