Kriegsmarine Officer’s Dress Dagger with Scabbard — WKC
A well-preserved original Kriegsmarine officer’s dress dagger by WKC, in very good overall condition. The nickel-plated steel blade is clean, shiny, with crisp etched designs, showing no damage or pitting. The ricasso bears a clear maker’s mark. The bronze crossguard features fouled anchors and a working push-button lock. The white ribbed celluloid grip retains its original twisted wire, showing only minor wear. The pommel with a German eagle and swastika is in good condition, with typical signs of age but no damage. The scabbard is original, with floral designs and a hammered texture. On the throat of the scabbard is engraved the inscription “Korvetten-Kapitan Ritter von Georg”. Above it, there is an engraved Maltese Cross — a symbol historically associated with the Order of St. John, representing bravery, self-sacrifice, and knightly virtues.
A solid, honest example in good collectible condition.
