Michal199, first let me welcome you to the forum.
Your dagger is a remarkable nice conditioned 2nd luft by WKC (what you already know wink ). In such a condition all daggers are at least scarce. I appreciate the artificial burnishing of the dagger parts (kind of grey/blue) which does proof the near mint condition.
BTW it seems to have one of the desirable artificial ivory grips.
I personally doubt that these 2nd lufts you can be classified into a certain period, but due to the best execution of the burnishing, the gilded swaz´, the artificial ivory grip and the nicely produced grip wire I would think it was manufactured before war or at the most when war has started.
Regards,

Very nice dagger indeed! This WKC shows all the correct traits of a mid period Luft 2nd by WKC.. with an extra twist!! This dagger is equipped with the plaster filled, imitation Ivory grip! Notice the lengthwise "grain" or striations that give the appearance of natural Ivory. Another nice touch is the gold gilting on the pommel swastika's that have toned dark.. another WKC trait. Killer blade too, Well done! Best, Kevin.

AHH, I see you were typing as I was Wotan.. wink I agree with your assessment!

thank You for the good words an for warm welcome it's good the be here among the proffesionals and passionates.i was looking for such conditioned piece for a long time and i cannot stop to gazing at this dagger.nice to be certain that all parts are matching now i'm calmer owner of the fully original example.it's good upgrade to my knowledge about the artifical ivory(it adds a real luxury feeling),i will remember too that the darkened gilting is a WKC indicator this details are fascinating.thank You also for the approximately time,that was exactly what i wanted to know is it a early of late war product.one more time thank You everyone.
best regards
