G040666 M1929 1st PATTERN OFFICER'S DAGGER.
(Marinedolch)Roughly, 25cm long, nickel/silver plated, drop forged steel, stiletto style blade with dual, narrow, central fullers to each side. The blade features an acid etched design with fouled anchors, a multi-mast sailing ship and an ornate foliage pattern. The obverse ricasso is well marked with the stamped manufacturer’s logo and initials with the logo consisting of the profile of a medieval style helmet positioned above the initials, "WKC", indicating manufacture by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co. Waffenfabrik of Solingen-Wald. The blade still has a brown leather washer intact. Washer looks a bit thick, but it shows the correct age. The dagger has a nicely detailed, fire gilt, brass construction crossguard and pommel which are both intact and show minor age tarnish. The crossguard features an embossed fouled anchor to both the obverse and reverse centerpieces and an ornate foliage pattern and rosette tips to the horizontal arms. The reverse centerpiece of the crossguard has an integral spring loaded locking button which is fully intact and still functions. The screw in brass portion of the button is missing but it still functions fine. Brass "flaming ball" pommel. The dagger has a slightly age yellowed, white celluloid grip mounted on a wooden sleeve with twisted, dual strand, brass wire wrap still intact. The celluloid grip has a couple of cracks and stained areas, but overall quite nice. Original grip wire is still present. The dagger comes with its original fire gilt brass construction scabbard with the standard etched lightning bolt design. Couple of minor scabbard dings. The scabbard has both of the sweated on, embossed, oak-leaf patterned hanger bands with the scabbard rings and hanger loops all intact. The top throat is secured to the scabbard by two dome headed screws with one situated at either side near the top edge.
