YOU ARE LOOKING AT A VINTAGE WW2 GERMAN RAD HEWER DAGGER IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS WAS MANUFACTURED BY THE CARL JULIUS KREBS COMPANY, EITHER LATE IN THE WAR OR SHORTLY AFTER THE END OF THE WAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ANY TIME AFTER 1946, WHEN THE FACTORIES WERE ALLOWED TO RESUME PRODUCTION IN ORDER TO REBUILD THE ECONOMY. ALTHOUGH THE ACTUAL FIGHTING HAD STOPPED IN MID 1945, THE WAR WAS NOT LEGALY DECLARED OVER UNTIL LATE 1952. THE 9 3/4\'\' BLADE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH CRISP CLEAR MARKINGS AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF CARBON STAINING TOWARDS THE TIP OF THE BLADE. THE STAGS ARE NICE AND THICK AND ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BRASS PORTION OF THE HANDLE IS ACTUALLY A SPACER WHICH WAS INTERGRATED INTO THE HANDLE DURING PRODUCTION . PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND FEEL FREE TO ASK FOR MORE PICS OR TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE BE 18 YEARS OLD TO offer. SHIPS TO USA 48 STATES ONLY PRIORITY MAIL WITH DELIVERY CONFIRMATION. THANK YOU.
