I'd like to show you some pictures of my 2nd model Luftwaffe dagger by R. Klaas. It has as nice personalization. Hope you like it.

Danny,
Beautiful Luft, the dark handle is breathtaking. An exquisite dagger to say the least. That type of personalization is a first for me...very nice.

That is one beautiful and EARLY example of a Klaas Luft! In my oppinion, the first type of guard and hand work style used on Klaas Luft 2nd (notice skinnier swastika and head style). There was a slightly earlier style of scabbard band used on the initial product from this maker but this one is right on its heels as far as early goes! NICE! Kevin.

Very Nice Klaas beautiful period handwork and a very lovely grip. Interesting the top scabbard band is upside-down yep these workers were not perfect.

What is the meaning of the darker handle? This is not in my dagger book. Is it just personalization, or does it indicate a certain section of the Luftwaffe?
