Kriegsmarine Officer's Dagger (Kriegsmarine Dolch für Offiziere). The Kriegsmarine dagger was a modified version of a traditional design that dates back to the creation of the Prussian Navy in 1848.

The dagger has a molded, orange coloured, celluloid grip with the correct dual strand twisted brass wire. The dagger comes with its original fire gilded type scabbard. The reverse ricasso is well marked with the etched manufacturer’s logo from the firm 'E&F Hörster' from Solingen. The blade is in good condition with some minor staining, the blade shows etched desings to both sides of the blade. The dagger is complete with its original knotted portepee as found. Nice original Kriegsmarine dagger set in very good condition!
