Original German WWII 1st Model Luftwaffe Dagger with Aluminum Fittings by E. & F. Hörster MP 34 04-Apr-1945Original Item: One of a Kind. This is a very nice 1st Model Luftwaffe Dagger with Aluminum fittings made in sometime after 1938. Previous to this, the mounts had been of alloy brass or nickel, but Aluminum was an "Air Age" material, which was used to make most airplanes. It was considered fitting and desirable for the mounts to be made of this, and the later 2nd model continued to use aluminum as well. The aluminum mounts defy all age and remain nice
