Navy Officer Dagger [M1938] by WKC Solingen

This 2nd Model Naval Dagger in good condition. Kriegsmarine model 1938. The maker mark is by WKC Solingen.

Grip: The grip is a fine, dark celluloid type. 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. The bright surfaces contrast nicely. These backgrounds show off the etch very nicely on this blade. The obverse ricasso is stamped with the knight trademark. The ovals contain the firm’s name and location, “WKC Solingen”. The brown leather blade buffer is in position.

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 side-screws.
