Title Kriegsmarine dirk
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This is the classic dirk worn by all officers and petty officers of the German navy, both on the surface ships and on U-boat service throughout the war. Although it is a plain example, it is particularly nice to find one without any dents whatsoever in the scabbard.

The plain blade has no maker's mark. There is a small crack to the top of the celluloid grip and a slight buckling of the quillan on one side. There are traces of gilt finish to the scabbard and hilt.

Just a brief note to confirm that the sabre has been delivered today. All is as it should be. I have to say I’m impressed with the ‘custom’ packaging, obviously essential in your line of business. I have made a very quick inspection of the sword & it fully lives up to your accurate description, very pleased with the purchase.
