#10710-KRIEGSMARINE OFFICERS DAGGER WITH HANGERS
AND ORIGINAL BELT:
A great combination set that appears to have always been
together. The Kriegsmarine dagger is a second
model type by E.F. Horster that retains most of
its gilt finish to the brass hilt, crossguard & pommel
sections. The grip is off-white in color and complete
with a tightly wrapped gilt wire. The sharp pointed
blade is double etched with a frosted naval motif and
clean with some minor scratches. It is complete with
Horster logo and thin leather washer. The scabbard
is in the “lightning” pattern with nicely patterned
lower leaves. It has both suspension rings with triple
serrated eyelets as well as both of the throat screws.
The scabbard shows some age toning, areas of patina,
light wear and a minor surface dent to the upper reverse
portion. The hangers are of the early type having
fittings of gilted brass and complete with chain. The
straps are of black ribbed moiré with reverses of thick
black velvet showing minor wear and age. It is complete
with its original under tunic suspension belt of
cornflower blue webbing with leather buckle, strap and
suspension rings. Shows wear and areas of soiling.
