Combat knife, Model 1942 Trench Knife (Grabendolch), Germany, World War I (Lot: 1381)
$ 395 fee: 22.5%The Nahkampfmesser combat knife, Model 1942, was officially adopted by the German armed forces in 1942. It was intended for use by military personnel across various branches of service and was distinguished by its simple, robust, and technologically efficient design.
Unlike ceremonial edged weapons, the Nahkampfmesser was an exclusively utilitarian item. It served as a combat knife, a tool for fieldwork, and an element of the soldier’s individual equipment.
The Nahkampfmesser was manufactured by numerous German enterprises; however, maker’s marks on the blades are encountered extremely rarely.
During excavations at Second World War battle sites, Nahkampfmesser knives are regularly discovered both along the lines of direct combat engagement and among the personal effects of military personnel. However, examples in good or excellent condition are extremely rare, as these knives continued to be widely used by the civilian population after the war, resulting in significant wear and loss of their original condition.

Luftwaffe Dagger, Model 1935 (nickel-silver fittings). [Stöcker & Co. SMF]. Stamp – SMF. (Lot: 1379)
$ 2,215 fee: 22.5%Officially established on 10 March 1935 alongside the creation of the German Air Force, this dagger was intended for Luftwaffe career personnel in accordance with the established uniform regulations and represented the first official edged weapon of the new branch of the armed forces. Notably, the dagger’s design was based on the earlier Deutscher Luftsportverband (DLV) dagger, the German Air Sports Association, which in the early 1930s effectively served as a cover organization for training future Luftwaffe personnel. For this reason, the early Luftwaffe dagger retained many features of the DLV dagger and is considered a transitional model in the development of German aviation edged weapons.
The fittings made of nickel silver (German silver) are characteristic of early examples, typically manufactured before 1936. Due to limited production runs, high manufacturing quality, and distinguished appearance, such pieces are traditionally valued by collectors more highly than later variants.
The manufacturer was Stöcker & Co. SMF, a German metalworking company from Solingen that specialized in producing edged weapons for aviation organizations of the Third Reich. The firm produced daggers for the DLV, NSFK, and Luftwaffe, distinguished by the high quality of their blades and fittings. The blade bears the characteristic “SMF” mark, confirming the item’s origin.

Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1935 – S/155G. [E.u.F Hörster]. Unsharpened blade. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1390)
Auction EndedThe S84/98 bayonet is one of the most recognizable symbols of the German soldier during the Second World War. Representing a further development of the earlier S84/98 model, it was adopted as the standard bayonet for the Mauser Karabiner 98k carbine and was mass-produced by the German arms industry. Due to its widespread use, this bayonet remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the Second World War and is today one of the most popular areas of German edged weapons collecting.
The S/155G marking on the present example indicates the manufacturer, the firm E.u.F Hörster of Solingen, one of Germany’s leading edged weapons manufacturers. The production year of 1935 corresponds to the early period of Wehrmacht rearmament, when mass production of the SG 84/98 model bayonets for Mauser K98k rifles commenced.
The E.u.F Hörster company was founded in Solingen in 1850. The firm specialized in the production of edged weapons and bayonets for the German army, supplying products during both the First and Second World Wars.
The blade of this example has never been sharpened, which is of particular value to collectors. Such condition indicates minimal combat use or warehouse storage of the item. The absence of resharpening marks preserves the original blade geometry, which substantially increases the collectible value of the specimen.
Matching serial numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm their original pairing from the time of manufacture. Such examples are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and post-war reassembly, and therefore command higher collectible value.
Original bluing and frog. Very good condition.
