Austrian M1935 Air Defense Dagger

This officer's dagger features a double-edged steel blade, a polished zinc alloy guard with wings, and a black grip. The metal scabbard has matching fittings. Issued to officers of the Austrian Air Defense (Luftschutz) starting in 1935, this dagger design was used during the pre-war period. It represents a rare and short-lived military aviation pattern. The blade is in clean condition with a bright finish and minor runner marks. The hilt fittings are detailed with the Austrian national eagle, and the scabbard retains its original finish.
