Navy Officer Dagger [2nd Model] by Carl Eickhorn Solingen

Kriegsmarine Officer’s Dagger Model 1938 with hanger and portepee, manufactured by Carl Eickhorn Solingen (logo above shoulder variant). The dagger has an overall length of approximately 42.0 cm and represents the classic Kriegsmarine officer dagger configuration without blade etching. The piece is offered together with the two-piece hanger and the portepee.

Grip: Light-colored grip of slightly oval shape with characteristic double wire wrapping. The pommel and crossguard are made of non-ferrous metal. The pommel is formed as the Kriegsmarine eagle, holding a wreath with swastika in its claws. Below the crossguard remains the original felt buffer washer. Age and usage traces are present.

Blade: Double-edged blade in good condition with fully preserved tip. This is the plain blade (non-etched) variant. The reverse side bears the maker mark “Carl Eickhorn Solingen” in the well-known “logo above shoulder” variation. Above the maker mark is the functional release button.

Scabbard: So-called lightning-bolt scabbard with decorative oak leaf ring bands. The throat fitting is secured by two side screws, appearing unopened. Both suspension rings are closed. Age-related storage and usage traces present.

Hanger & Portepee: The dagger is offered together with a two-piece hanger and a portepee. The metal parts display age-related patina and match the dagger stylistically.
