Identifying lost dagger - 02/23/2023 11:46 PM
I was given a German dagger by my grandfather back in the 1970's. It was lost long ago, thrown away when the bakelite cracked and fell off (sigh), but I would really like to replace it.
He claimed that it was a German WW2 bayonet, but looking at examples online, I don't think it had the tell-tale button or slit.
As I remember it was very similar to the Hitler Jugend knife, but had a longer and thinner blade. Also no "diamond" on the handle, but rather a sort of monogram (or could it have been a stag?). This is the only picture I have of it, sorry, I know it's not much to go on.
Best,
Tony
