I thought I'd share pics of this beautiful black handle 2nd Luft dagger I have. The maker is Klaas and it's a funeral dagger for Hauptmann Heinz Strunning. He was credited with 56 victories in 280 missions, 250 of which were flown at night.
The blade has an etch of his name on obverse and the dates of his birth and death on the reverse
He was shot down over England on Christmas Eve of 1944. You can Google his name to read more.
