Kriegsmarine Officers Dagger By Carl Eickhorn With Etched Blade

This is a German World War II Kriegsmarine Officer’s Dagger produced by Carl Eickhorn, featuring an etched blade. The dagger has a white celluloid grip with twisted wire brading. The pommel features an eagle with outstretched wings holding a wreathed swastika in its talons. The brass crossguard includes two arms that taper towards the blade’s ricasso, with a rectangular block in the centre depicting a fouled anchor, complete with the release button. The crossguard is wrapped with a silver period portepee with small signs of wear. The nickel-plated blade is in very good condition etched on both sides with canthus leaves and fouled anchors. The brass scabbard has the classic lightning bolts design complete with hanging rings, with no damage or repairs. Overall, the Kriegsmarine officer’s dress dagger is a nice period piece in very good condition.
