Description
Listing this as a transitional & or parts 2nd Model German Naval Dagger & Scabbard.
Gilded Brass fittings & lightening bolt scabbard design.
The crossguard is the usual fouled anchor type with good button end caps.
The push button locking works fine albeit a bit sloppy.
The white grip has noticeable crazing & chipping with some staining
The blade exhibits pitting & scarring but not much in the way of chipped blade edges & one can still make out the etched fouled anchor.
The scabbard is interesting for the reason of the scabbard band ring lanyard holders , as their design varies to normal even scrolls & instead with a large centre wheel scroll & supported either side by a smaller wheel scroll. This was typically used by the maker E Bonsmann (Dreiakerwerk), Solingen-Ohligs who also produced post ww2 items after the war ended.
