German WWII RAD Leader’s Dagger by Karl Julius Krebs-This Model 1937 Leader’s dagger is very clean. The ivory white celluloid handle is excellent. It shows no cracking or crazing. The fittings retain approx. 99% of their finish on the hilt and crossguard. The details and tone of the eagle head pommel, and the RAD emblem are excellent. The leather buffer is in place under the crossguard. The scabbard has a nice matching tone. The detailing is beautiful. This scabbard is in near excellent condition. Be aware that there is a dent to the lower fitting. The blade is very good, especially with the nice long blood groove. The obverse of the blade has a nice deep Labor Corps motto which translates to “Work Ennobles”. The reverse of the blade, just under the crossguard, shows the logo for the maker Karl Julius Krebs. The triangle RADJ Logo is not present on this model of RAD leader’s dagger, as they stopped stamping this mark on daggers as the war progressed. This blade is a very tight fit to the scabbard. This is a beautiful example of a popular dagger in very nice condition.
