KREIGSMARINE OFFICERS DAGGER WITH KNOT. After quite a long period of not having any navy daggers in stock, I have been lucky enough to acquire quite a few over the past few months. Has meant me spending many hours on the computer, and an awful lot of driving, to auctions and private homes. But it's all worth it!! (isn't it?). This is a very good example of a navy dagger,complete with a later rayon knot, by the well known maker WKC. Has the WKC letters and the company logo of a Knights helmet, STAMPED into the blade ricasso. Brass fittings retain a little of the fire guilding here and there, celluloid grip is perfect, with brass twisted wire. Rayon knot has turned a nice golden colour. It is tied in the regulation knot pattern across the crossguard. The chord just above the ball is quite frayed, but still sound. Brass scabbard, is virtually dent free and is a nice bright colour. Blade is beautiful, with all the original grey finish to the dolphin/anchor etch, and a needle sharp point. NICE DAGGER. |

PAIR OF IDENTICAL NAVY DAGGERS FROM SAME FAMILY!!!! I was lucky enough to recently add these two daggers to my stock, and they have been purchased directly from the original veterans family in the Birmingham area. (I purchased a similar pair of daggers in the Coventry area last year). These are not mint but certainly Exc++ and both are in the same condition. Both are by the same maker, Eickhorn, and have the later 'over the shoulder' 1941 trademark. Blade are near mint, with all the charcoal grey background finish intact, so have never been polished!!! A couple of minor finger smudges on each blade. All fittings are brass and have much of the original fire gilt left on them. The scabbards are both the engraved types and have a lot of the gilt remaining in the unexposed parts, beside the scabbard bands etc etc. They really are a matched pair, and should not really be split, as they came back from the war like this, and should end their days together!!! Great pair of Kreigsmarine daggers.(price for the pair, but will possibly split) |

KRIEGSMARINE OFFICERS DAGGER A good example of a classic navy dagger with the much rarer plain blade and no maker!! I have always loved navy daggers, had a collection of over 30 different types at one time. It seems, according to the Eickhorn catalogue, that the normally seen 'etched' blade was a COST option. The dagger was standard with a plain blade. 98% of purchasers seemsed to go for the cost option. The plain blade seems to have been left to the Quartermasters stores etc., who had to keep a small stock of daggers for parade use, but did not want to pay extra for the etched balde..no need! Anyway, that's my theory! Nice looking dagger, clean, undamaged celluliod over wood grip. Nice brass fittings, very clean, bright blade, needle sharp. scabbrd is in good condition. A few light carrying knocks, but no serious damage. I know everyone likes an etched blade, but plain ones are MUCH rarer. |

WKC NAVY DAGGER, ORANGE GRIP, HAMMERED SCABBARD & HANGERS!!! I have always been extremely fond of navy daggers, I find them elegant and beautiful to look at. This example is all of that and more!!! Has beautiful solid celluloid grip that is a tangerine orange colour. All brass fittings are in excellent condition, there is some original gilt left, but mainly just a great brass colour. Scabbard is the hammered variety, is a little worn with use to the surfaces, but also has the reef knot suspension bands. Blade is a classic WKC type being slightly thinner than say the Eickhorn blade. However, it is in MINT condition with deep etching background, contrasted with the 100% bright plated blade. Looks fantastic. Dagger also has a matching pair of navy hangers in near mint condition. I could take these off and sell them separately,but have opted to leave with the dagger!!! A great looking rig. |
