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.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
