Ed,
The dagger is a first model Luftwaffe and the maker is Alcoso. This model Luft was standard until about 1938 when a second and cheaper model that more resembles the Army dagger became available. The scabbard was covered in blue leather that would have rotted and have been long gone by the time this so called "discovery" was made.
