Third Reich second model Kriegsmarine dagger by Eickhorn, 10 in. blade and 15 in. overall, with a white celluloid-covered wood grip, tightly wire wrapped with braided brass wire. The pommel is in the shape of a national eagle with half-folded wings, clutching a wreath-encircled swastika, and the crossguard depicts a fouled anchor at the center, with ribbed designs on the quillons, both of brass construction. The nickel-plated blade bears no engraving or other markings, and it is in excellent condition with only a few tiny specks of corrosion. The original red felt buffer is regrettably absent. The scabbard is brass, with lightning-bolt motifs and two hanging rings with bands bearing a pattern of oak leaves, lightly discolored in some areas. There is one dent at the bottom of the scabbard, opposite the side with the suspension rings. A nice example.
