Alcoso Navy

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Navy Daggers > 2nd Model Navy Daggers

I like these Alcoso examples. The blade on this one is very near mint! The tip is perfect, the fit is nice and tight, The early stamped Alcoso Scales mark is stamped to the reverse. The blade is a plain one preferred by officers of more modest means. The buffer pad remains intact. The brass lightening bolt scabbard on this piece has wear and wee bumps and remains undented. The separately applied bands are beautifully detailed. Both headless throat retaining screws remain intact. The unique crossguard design was only used by Alcoso. Look at the reverse, see the diamond in the center with the center drilled release button. Whenever you see that, think Alcoso. The evil looking pommel eagle is well detailed with only minor wear. The button works properly, as it should. The orange trylon grip is in good shape and does suffer a microscopic hairline near the pommel. The original double twist brass wire wrap looks great and remains nice and tight. Overall this piece is in excellent condition and would be a great addition to your collection!
