WW2 German Hitler Youth Dagger by 'A.W.JR Solingen' (Anton Wingen).
A nice original example in untouched condition purchased for the elderly son of the war WW2 war veterean that brought the dagger back after WW2.
The veteran was serving in the RAF during WW2 and his name was Leslie Foster - interestingly he was in the same section and worked with the well known actor Eric Sykes and they both took park in the D-Day landings. The son explained that during the landing and whilst under attack from German he and his friend (an Irishman) hid under a truck, however this was full of ammuntion and explosives! Leslie served during WW2 in Shetland Islands, Belgium, Germany and Holland.
Leather is detached from the scabbard, but could be repaired (we like to leave items alone when they are original - they are only original once!).
