Germany WW2 Luftwaffe fighting knife LUFTWAFFEN-KAMPFMESSER dagger, original “leaf spring” boot-carry metal scabbard; great overall condition, considering the age.

A scarce original WW2 era German “LUFTWAFFEN-KAMPFMESSER” German Air Force fighting knife with original-issue metal “boot carry” scabbard included. The dagger is in excellent overall condition; this Germany WW2 Luftwaffe fighting knife is in 100% serviceable condition still. This exact type is illustrated on pages 246-247, as well as in the center of the title page of the excellent French reference book Knives and Daggers-Bayonets Used by the German Army During 1914-1945 by Christian Mary (see the book’s scans attached).

This fighting knife is about 10-5/8” / 27 cm overall; the blade is about 6” / 15.2 cm long. The blade is stamped with Luftwaffe’s late-war “S” proof mark on ricasso. The blade in in great shape with no pitting; original light-gray patina throughout. The blade is razor-sharp still; no edge nicks or dings on the spine; the tip is intact. Original hardwood handle scales are in great shape with no typical nicks or chips; the guard and pins are original; all parts are tight with no play. Original metal scabbard with the classic “leaf spring” for boot carry is in great shape as well with over 90% of the original black finish remaining. This hard-to-find original WW-II era Germany WW2 Luftwaffe fighting knife was part of the diverse collection of militaria items that I’ve recently purchased spanning from WW1 to the War in Vietnam. This personal collection contains many interesting items, some are unique, but there is just too much work to list it all at the same time. Please check out my site periodically for new arrivals; I’ll be listing more items in the next few weeks.

Almost 80 years later this original Germany WW2 Luftwaffe fighting knife is in 100% serviceable condition still – this type is hard-to-find nowadays. In general, most of Luftwaffen-Kampfmessers were used in the field as intended; specimens in better grades are hard to find nowadays – this Germany WW2 Luftwaffe fighting knife will be a great addition to any collection. This attractive original WW2 Germany Luftwaffe fighting knife has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way, it is in 100% original “as is” condition. These are the actual photos; Mauser K98 clips are not included with the knife 😉
