First Model Reichsluftschutzbund enlisted mans dagger by Paul Weyersberg in
near mint condition.
First model RLB emblem retains 100% of its deep blue enamel in letters and
swastica, and 99% of the silvering on the background 'sunburst'.
Thin blue leather washer can be seen within the depths of the stylised
eagle 'art deco' crossguard, whilst crossgrain is visible along the
length of the blade.

manufacturer of RLB daggers.
Suspension of the dagger was via a leather strap and escutcheon plate. Note
the method of riveting plate and strap-a useful guide to originality.
