Navy Officer Dagger [M1938]

Navy Officer Dagger [M1938]

This 2nd Model Naval Dagger is in EXC+ condition, showing little wear. Kriegsmarine model 1938. Overall is a great example.

Grip: The grip is a fine. This celluloid has nicely tones over the years, and is still in perfect condition. The grip is tightly wrapped with twisted brass wire. The crossguard also has good detail to the fouled anchor center block. Acanthus leaves decorate the surfaces of both of the crossguard arms, and they end in nipple-centered buttons.

Blade: The blade of this example is a real beauty being a fouled anchor style double etched motif. This blade retains its needlelike tip and has 85% of its original plated surfaces.

Scabbard: The scabbard is straight throughout, being the lightning bolt type. This scabbard has good detail to the palmettes around the bands, and to the lower lightning bolts, ermine feet, and acanthus leaves. The carrying bands show a little minor wear to the surfaces but the detail to the overlapping oak leaves and acorns is still there. The eyelets have triple serrations, also showing some minor wear. The throat is retained by two headless brass side-screws.
