Here we have a 2nd Model Navy Dagger (Kriegsmarine Dolch) by WKC - Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Cie AG of Solingen that is an Imperial isse that's been period upgraded. The fouled anchor etched blade on this one looks has been heavily cleaned losing much of it's etch. There is also age gray. The stamped knights head "WKC" maker mark is clear. The fit is snug and the tip is perfect! The blade rates VG. It shows age spotting and the common surface scratches throughout. The buffer pad is intact. The brass based and gold gilded hammered scabbard looks great. It has some bumps towards the drag but really quite good. It provides beautiful aged patina and hand detail throughout the oak leaf bands and decorative motif. This one has seen lot's of wear. The rings have worn right though the bands!. It retains its original side throat retaining screw. The crossguard and pommel provide wonderful patina and detail to the anchor and proud eagle perched on top. The pommel is the otion this guy chose when given the option in 1938. The push button works well. The gorgeous orange trylon grip is a great treat on these. It looks great. It has the correct double twisted wire wrap, that remains nice and tight. A beautiful piece with personality that deserves a great home!
