Welcome to Military Antiques Toronto! In today’s video, Dave takes you through an exclusive unboxing and in-depth review of a fresh collection of rare WW2 German daggers and bayonets that just arrived from a long-time collector. Whether you’re passionate about WW2 militaria, collect German daggers, or love learning about authentic military antiques, you won’t want to miss this detailed showcase of original items straight from history. 🗡️🪖

We start the video with a stunning Luftwaffe Officer’s Dagger made by Horster, a sought-after aluminum dagger that still retains its original gilt and features a well-preserved leather grip. Dave explains why patina and untouched finishes are so valuable to collectors and why over-cleaning or polishing can seriously impact the value of German WW2 edged weapons. You’ll see first-hand the details that make this Luftwaffe dagger a centerpiece in any militaria collection.

Next, discover another exceptional example: a Luftwaffe dagger by SMF. Dave discusses how to identify if the screws have been turned, how original wire wraps and leather grips add authenticity, and why details like untouched swastika emblems are crucial for serious German dagger collectors. When collecting original WW2 daggers, authenticity is everything, and Dave provides expert tips on what to look for when evaluating pieces from this era.

Moving on, we have a beautiful Carl Eichhorn dagger with an incredible patina on the guard. Learn why collectors prize patina and how you can spot original parts versus replaced or mismatched ones. Authentic German daggers, especially those from makers like Carl Eichhorn, are highly collectible and often feature unique marks, finishes, and construction details that set them apart.

The unboxing continues with a selection of bayonets, including a Portuguese bayonet made in Germany, a K98 bayonet with mismatched numbers, and a highly polished Horster bayonet dated 1940. Dave breaks down the significance of matched versus mismatched numbers, how to spot post-war modifications, and the importance of original scabbards and grips when collecting German bayonets from World War II.

Watch as Dave examines a Luftwaffe dagger with a portepee (knot), noting a chipped handle and lost gilt, as well as a blade that has unfortunately been heavily damaged by overzealous cleaning. This serves as a cautionary tale for collectors: never over-restore or polish antique blades, as it can destroy historical and collectible value.

Next up is a DLV (Deutscher Luftsport-Verband) dagger with NSFK (National Socialist Flyers Corps) markings by SMF. Dave reveals the importance of original leather washers, untouched patina, and proper maker marks in authenticating German flight daggers. He also shares the story behind this piece, which was acquired directly from a veteran’s family, adding to its provenance and appeal for collectors.

A unique shooting trophy dagger, featuring a double oval icon and personalized engraving, follows. These presentation daggers, often named and decorated, provide a fascinating glimpse into German military award culture during the Second World War.
