Kriegsmarine Dagger By Carl Eickhorn

Item: The Kriegsmarine dagger from the Third Reich was a ceremonial dagger worn by officers of the German Navy. Its design was inspired by traditional naval daggers and featured an elegant appearance with a white ivory or synthetic grip, a gilded pommel, and an engraved or etched steel blade with maritime motifs such as anchors and ships. Many examples had a scabbard decorated with leaf patterns. These daggers were primarily intended as status symbols and were often worn with a parade uniform. Today, they are highly sought-after collector’s items.

Condition: The scabbard has a dent on the front side and has been lacquered at some point in time.
The dagger comes with its original portepee. The grip has no cracks, and the pommel eagle is in good condition. The blade is in good condition, with some spots here and there.
The blade features etching on both sides and is nicely maker-marked by Carl Eickhorn. The clasp that holds the dagger in the scabbard is still functional.
Overall, this is a very lovely and desirable piece!
