This is a rare German Heer Dagger, an exquisite, top-quality example of the standard German Army officer dagger. The steel blade is bright and beautiful, and very well-preserved. On one side of the reverse ricasso, it is marked Clemen & Jung, Solingen, while the other side bears the company’s Z-Shield logo—a shield with the letter Z inside—a mark of this rare manufacturer, known for high-quality craftsmanship.
The handle on this dagger is gorgeous and boasts an eye-catching yellow Trylon grip that is free of chips, cracks, or damage. The crossguard and pommel are very nice, with a light, attractive patina.
This German Heer Dagger is complete with its original scabbard. The scabbard shows crisp pebbling and comes with both original suspension rings. The scabbard body has an even patina that perfectly matches the metal fittings on the handle.
Overall, this is a very attractive dagger with exceptional eye appeal, an excellent example of a rare Clemen & Jung piece, making it highly desirable for collectors.
