G962.)GERMAN ARMY OFFICER'S DAGGER WITH KNOT AND HANGERS: flawless nickel-plated blade showing only minor in/out wear from scabbard action. Tip is perfect, no extra sharpening to blade's edges. Reverse ricasso etched with maker 'Alcoso, Solingen' along with this firm's scales logo. Has its original brown leather buffer pad. Early heavy nickel-silver plating on cross-guard -- which is beautifully detailed and impressive -- and on pommel. No lifting to finish nor any bubbling. White composition grip, perfect. No cracks nor any chips. Silver bullion officer's dagger knot tied in the correct configuration. Knot shows wear and age from use and from the years where it's tied around the cross-guard. Nickel-plated scabbard is intact too. No lifting nor any bubbling. No dents nor any creases to scabbard. Hangers are in a good state of preservation. Zinc alloy fittings have all tarnished to a gray cast. Hangers are lined on the underside with green velvet. EXC++++
