| Extremely rare if not unique Artificial Damascus bladed presentation 2nd model RLB officers dagger by Ernst Erich Witte, complete with near mint hangers. | Makers mark raised from the beautiful blade. This piece came from the family of the owner in Germany and is complete with a period studio photo of the item in wear. |

| The raised signature (as yet unidentified) which appears on the obverse of the blade. Clearly the gift of a high ranking RLB officer to a subordinate | Another view of the obverse blade dedication to include the art deco crossguard. |

Reverse blade features the strikingly beautiful ''Treue Kameradschaft'' dedication raised from the artificial damascus. A most unusual and original variation to one of the era's most attractive daggers, shortly to be featured in LTC Tom Johnsons latest dagger reference. |
Another view of the outstanding blade, less labour intensive or skilful to manufacture than true damascus, but surely a lasting tribute to the solingen artisans craft. |
