Navy Officer Dagger [M1938] by Carl Eickhorn Solingen

This 2nd Model German Naval Dagger is in Near Mint condition. Kriegsmarine model 1938. The maker mark is by Original Eickhorn 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 in near mint condition being a fouled anchor style double etched motif. The bright surfaces contrast nicely with gray backgrounds of the etch. These backgrounds show off the etch very nicely on this blade. The blade's obverse ricasso is maker marked Eickhorn Solingen. The blade buffer is in position.

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 eyelets have triple serrations, also showing some minor wear. The throat is retained by two brass side-screws.
