Description

German WWII Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) dress dagger with scabbard manufactured by WKC Solingen. Features a polished blade etched with the motto "Arbeit adelt" and a distinctive crossguard adorned with a RAD emblem incorporating a swastika and wheat sheaves. The grip is ribbed metal with an ivory-colored synthetic scale secured by a single screw, terminating in a pommel shaped as a stylized eagle's head. The metal scabbard exhibits period wear and retains decorative embossed motifs consistent with RAD design. This dagger served as a ceremonial symbol for members of the German Labour Service during the Third Reich period.
