Austrian Air Force or aviator’s dagger M1935 (Model 1935) from the era of the First Republic or the Austrian Federal State (1918–1938).
Key features of the dagger:
Crossguard: Features an enameled red shield with a white triangle (the national insignia of the Austrian Air Force).
Grip: Typically made of white plastic or ivory.
Scabbard: Nickel-plated, with movable carrying rings and characteristic propeller motifs.
Manufacturer: Often marked on the ricasso with a Viennese manufacturer’s stamp (e.g., Zeitler Wien or Zeitler Wien VIII).
This specific example bears the “Zeitler Wien VIII” manufacturer’s stamp (J. Zeitler, Vienna 8th District / Josefstadt) on the blade’s ricasso.
This stamp is the classic mark for authentic Austrian M1935 aviator’s daggers from the interwar period. The emblem above it displays the red-white-red triangular national insignia of the Austrian Air Force of that time, featuring clean enamel work.
A superb collector’s item showing signs of wear and patina consistent with its age.
The stampings are sharply defined, as is typical for authentic pieces. The scabbard release catch functions perfectly.
Excellent overall condition.
