The original German Nazi Luftwaffe dagger was adopted for wear by German officers and certain high ranking NCO's in 1937. The fittings were generally produced in a gray finish , although nickel or silver plating was available. The dagger had an aluminum top pommel featuring swastika on both sides, and a matching crossguard which depicted an eagle in flight clutching a swastika in his talons. The grip was white or colored celluloid. The steel scabbard usually was matching finish with pebble panels and oak leaved lower section.
