Navy Officer Dagger [M1938] with Knot by Puma Solingen

This 2nd Model German Naval Dagger is in near mint condition. Kriegsmarine model 1938. The maker mark is by Puma Solingen.

Grip: The grip is a fine, 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. The bright surfaces contrast nicely with the 100% gray backgrounds of the etch. These backgrounds show off the etch very nicely on this blade. This blade is in mint condition. The blade's reverse ricasso is maker marked PUMA SOLINGEN with the company's puma emblem, while the blade itself exhibits a beautifully engraved ornate design on both sides. The brown 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 headless brass side-screws.
