Original German WWII Early 1st Model Luftwaffe Dagger by TIGER Lauterjung & Co. with Chain & Belt Clip MG 34 Buffer & Butt Stock though we do not knowOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is a very good condition 1st Model Luftwaffe Dagger made in in the mid to late 1930s by Tigerwerk Lauterjung & Co., of Solingen, Germany. Starting in 1938, the move was made to aluminum fittings, so this dagger was made before that time. The grip looks to be made of nickel alloy, which originally would have been fully silver plated, often with a blue oxide coating. The plating is still very well retained on the hilt,
