Navy Officer Dagger [2nd Model] with Hangers by WKC Solingen

This 2nd Model German Naval Dagger is in Near Mint condition and complete with hangers. Kriegsmarine model 1938. The maker mark is by WKC 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 obverse ricasso is deeply stamped with the knighthead trademark. The firm's initials are stamped below, WKC Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Cie. Solingen.

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.
