Title Kriegsmarine dress dirk
Nationality German
Period c 1939
Sold

A clean example with 90%+ gilt finish to hilt and scabbard (ie there are slight signs of service wear). Plain blade, no maker mark - the blade has lost its original factory polish, but is still in good shape. This dirk was used by Petty Officers and commissioned officers of the German navy in WW2.

Daggers in these hammered scabbards are normally found with plain blades. It is the hammered scabbard that makes this a scarce and desirable item.

testimonials

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
