I had this dagger for quite some time now, and though they're not too "popular" in the collecting community, I still love it.
This is a very early vintage NPEA dagger with it's school inscription on the lower crossguard.
The crossguards are the nickel silver type and the scabbard was professionally repainted with the proper olive color. Everything else is all original and untouched.
This dagger is really interesting because of the fact that you can actually know which school this student graduated from.
"PL" stands for the famous Plon school Castle which was one of the first three NAPOLA school to open in 1933.
The Plon Castle, where the school was, still exist today and is situated in Northern Germany ( north of Hambourg ).
Prior to 1933, the Castle was used by military Cadets during the Weimar years. Today, it is still used as a school.
