Update: Elsewhere I got another look at the �presentation� Luftwaffe Fliegerdolch under discussion. I can�t say that I was terribly surprised to see that it had a 1930�s vintage nickel silver mounted scabbard and hilt fittings.
For those who are interested in the details of such things: Luftwaffe officers were ordered to replace the (1st model) Fliegerdolch by October 1, 1937 with the (2nd model) Luftwaffe Offizierdolch. The citation for same being a Luftwaffen-Verordnungsblatt dated July 19, 1937. FP
