Full rig Alcoso "Hi-Lift" Army Officers dagger
Stunning full rig Heer officer dagger by Alcoso, Solingen. Last type or 4th pattern dagger. Quality metal fittings with a heavy silver plated finish.
The very desirable and beautiful silver plated 3D like Hi-Lift crossguard eagle is in crisp condition. Very Art Deco looking eagle. Celluloid over plaster grip in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Some minor soiling and one small scratch but no damage. These grips are prone to cracking so it's nice to see a complete one.
The typical Alcoso small throated pommel is in amazing condition with all of the original silver finish remaining.
The silver finished steel scabbard is straight with no dents. Textbook hand enhanced scabbard bands.
The blade is in very good bright condition with minor wear and marks but nothing that detracts. It is etched with the 4th type ACS maker mark.
The tip retains its original needle sharp point.
The aluminium portepee is tied in the regulation manner and is in excellent condition with some minor swing fraying.
The hangers are of the basic type with bullion facings and green velvet backing. All metal fittings retain the vast majority of the original silver finish.
Alcoso Hi-Lift daggers are extremely desirable and difficult to source, especially full rig.
Would be hard to upgrade.
