Hard Cover with dust jacket. Condition: New. In this second volume of the "Exploring" series, Mr. Wittmann examines the dress daggers and swords of the German Luftwaffe. For the first time, the fascinating array of dress weapons carried by Hermann Goering's Third Reich Luftwaffe are dissected and analyzed. No expense was spared to bring the facts to the collector. Individual manufacturing uniqueness and style are compared. The designs covered include the long DLV patterns, the Glider Pilot designs of the NSFK and DLV, 1st and 2nd model Luftwaffe patterns, the Luftwaffe sword and the Gerneral Officer Degen. Many featured weapons are one of a kind. Some were once the property of members of the infamous Luftwaffe High Command. Others bear historical presentations, personalizations, ivory grips, damascus blades, gold inlay designs and much more. Many are pictured for the first time in full color.
