Serge - Great 1st Luft "Field Day 1945" there! CONGRATS!
This is only the 2nd one that I've seen as well (it was also a 1st Luft). But, the history of the nice Dagger makes it WELL worth collecting.
I've always wondered WHY Eickhorn used 1st Lufts, instead of 2nd Lufts?
Did they have a 'stockpile' of 1st Luft Blades and Scabbards and Fittings, that were sitting around, unused & not sold?
My 'guess' is Yes - because forging new blades after May 9, 1945 wouldn't make too much sense, & then the Scabbard + Chain + Grip Top + Cross Guard, are all custom items. (Their 'etch appliers' and etch tanks were working fine though!)
....But then there are those B + A SA's to consider???...
Great CATCH! ... Best, Dave/dblmed
