  Honor Presentation Saber for Outstanding Marksmanship of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) 1930. [WKC]. (Lot: 1380)

  Honorary Award Sabre “For Outstanding Achievements in Marksmanship” ranks among the most prestigious state awards of Germany in the period before 1939. Such sabres were presented to military personnel for outstanding results in marksmanship training and represented not a prize for placing in competition, but rather the sole honorary award for the best marksman of the competition. Unlike most richly decorated ceremonial sabres manufactured through private commissions, these blades were official state award weapons. Each was associated with a specific award presentation, making such items considerably rarer and more valuable to collectors. The tradition of such awards existed during the Reichswehr era and continued into the Wehrmacht period. OKW sabres were produced from 1935 to 1937 without the swastika, and from 1938 a new variant appeared featuring an eagle on the crossguard. All award sabres of this type were manufactured exclusively with Damascus steel blades. The blades featured rich etched ornamentation as well as inscriptions indicating the name, rank, and type of weapon with which outstanding results were demonstrated. Depending on the manufacturer and production period, the design could vary slightly. A common characteristic of original examples is also the presence of military acceptance stamps confirming their official state origin.

  The year of the sabre’s production (1930) is attested by corresponding markings on the blade. Thus, this example dates to the Reichswehr period and was manufactured before the establishment of the Wehrmacht.

  The manufacturer was WKC (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie), one of the oldest and most respected arms manufactories in Solingen, founded in 1883 through the merger of two historic production facilities. The company was a major supplier of edged weapons for the German army, producing army daggers and sabres of the highest quality bearing their distinctive mark. WKC products were distinguished by superb blade finishing, impeccable polishing, and precise conformity to regulation patterns, making them particularly valuable to collectors.

  Luftwaffe Dagger, Model 1935 (nickel-silver fittings). [Stöcker & Co. SMF]. Stamp – SMF. (Lot: 1379)

  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.

  Officially established on 10 March 1935 concurrently with 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.

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.

  German Army Dagger, Model 1935 [Carl Julius Krebs]. (Lot: 1375)

  Officially introduced on 4 May 1935 alongside the restoration of the German armed forces, this dagger was intended for officers of the Army (Heer) and served as an essential part of dress and walking-out uniform. The example presented here was manufactured by the firm Carl Julius Krebs. The dagger quickly became one of the principal symbols of the Wehrmacht officer corps and was worn with the appropriate officer’s uniform. It was used by officers of all branches of the ground forces, including general officers, and production continued until 1942. Owing to this extended period of manufacture, the Model 1935 Army dagger became the most widely produced German officer’s dagger of the Third Reich era and remains today one of the most popular areas of collecting German edged weapons.

  Hewer of an NCO of the German Red Cross (DRK), Model 1938 Stamp – Ges. Gesch.. (Lot: 1374)

  A regulation edged weapon for non-commissioned officers of the DRK (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz) organization, representing a characteristic example with a blade featuring a saw back and a combat tip of specific form. The hanger was introduced following the large-scale reorganization of the German Red Cross in 1937 and the subsequent integration of the organization into the state structure of the Third Reich under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Official adoption occurred in 1938, which is reflected in the Nazi symbolism present in the design of this example.

  The marking “Ges. Gesch.” stamped on the item is an abbreviation of the German “Gesetzlich Geschützt” (“Protected by Law”) and indicates patent protection of the object or its individual elements within German territory. Such markings were widely used on edged weapons of the Third Reich, predominantly on daggers and dirks of party and paramilitary organizations, denoting patented design solutions for hilts, scabbards, or decorative elements. The presence of the original marking attests to the authenticity of the item and its manufacture during the period when German patent legislation was in effect; this constitutes an important attribution criterion for collectors.

  Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1944 – crs 44. [P. Weyersberg]. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1372)

  A true “calling card” of the German soldier during World War II, this bayonet model 1884/1898 was designed to accompany the legendary Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle. The modernized variant of the S84/98 model was mass-produced by the German arms industry and remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the entire period of World War II. This particular example dates to 1944, as evidenced by the “crs 44” marking belonging to the renowned manufacturer P. Weyersberg.

  Matching serial numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm the original factory pairing since the time of manufacture; the corresponding markings indicate that these components have never been separated since leaving the production line. Such examples are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and postwar reassembly, when bayonets and scabbards were often rematched from disparate parts. This is precisely why specimens with preserved matching numbers possess substantially higher collectible value and are of particular interest to serious collectors of military antiques.

  Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1941 – ddl 41. [Jos Corts]. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1371)

  A quintessential “calling card” of the German soldier during World War II, this bayonet model 1884/1898 represents a modernized variant of the S84/98, designed specifically to complement the legendary Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle. Manufactured in 1941 at the Jos Corts production facilities (marked ddl 41), this specimen was mass produced by the German arms industry and remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the entire Second World War period.

  This particular example derives special collector value from its matching serial numbers, with corresponding markings on both the blade and scabbard, confirming their original pairing since the time of manufacture. Such bayonets are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and postwar reassembly, when original sets were separated and mixed. The preservation of matching numbers indicates that the blade and scabbard have traveled their entire journey together, which substantially increases the appeal of this lot to serious collectors of military antiques.

  Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1939 – Berg&Co 39. [Berg & Co]. Sharpened blade. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1370)

  A legendary bayonet that became the true “signature weapon” of the German soldier during World War II. This modernized variant of the S84/98 bayonet was created specifically for use with the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle and was mass-produced by the German weapons industry, remaining in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the entire war period.

  The Berg&Co 39 marking indicates that the bayonet was manufactured in 1939. This particular date adds special value to the specimen: the year marking the beginning of World War II makes examples with such markings especially sought after among collectors.

  The manufacturer, Berg & Co, was a German firm specializing in the production of edged weapons and bayonets in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was located in Solingen, the traditional center of weapons manufacturing in Germany. The Berg & Co marking is found predominantly on bayonets produced under contract for the military department.

  The blade was sharpened in field conditions to provide the bayonet with additional combat or utility functions, as most German bayonets were issued without factory sharpening and were intended primarily for thrusting. In the ground forces, such sharpening was officially prohibited. However, excavation results from former Luftwaffe positions show that bayonets with sharpened blades are found quite frequently, indicating the widespread practice of such field modifications among Luftwaffe personnel, particularly in paratrooper units.

  Matching numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm their original pairing from the time of manufacture. Such specimens are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and postwar reassembly, which significantly increases the collectible value of this example.
