This 2nd Model German Naval Dagger is in EXC+ condition. Kriegsmarine model 1938. The maker mark is by Robert Klaas Solingen.

Grip: The grip is tightly wrapped with twisted brass wire. The crossguard 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 in fine condition. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the Klaas trademark, the firm's name and location, “Robert Klaas Solingen”. The leather buffer is still in place. The brown felt buffer pad continues to remain intact.

Scabbard: The scabbard is 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.
