Kriegsmarine Offiziersdolch mit Anhänger). A well-preserved Kriegsmarine Officer’s dress dagger, measuring 42.5 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 25.5 cm-long nickel-plated magnetic steel blade with a sharpened tip and unspoiled edges. It features double-sided dual narrow fullers which run approximately two-thirds of the length of each side. The blade also features double-sided acid-etched designs consisting of a central fouled anchor, flanked by arabesques and serpentine designs. The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “PAUL WEYERSBERG & CO., SOLINGEN”, circumscribed the firm’s wreathed sword logo. It sits securely within a gilded bronze crossguard which features double-sided fouled anchors in the centre. Inset into the reverse crossguard is a push button which connects to a clip emanating from blade’s ricasso to lock the dagger into place within the scabbard. Wrapped around the crossguard is a period original portepee, consisting of a stylized silver aluminum wire acorns suspended from a strap of identical construction. The handle grip is composed of a single piece of ribbed white celluloid, with the ribbing retaining an original twisted and rolled bronze wire cord. It completes with a gilded bronze pommel in the form of a German national eagle perched on top of a mobile swastika, screwing in to maintain the dagger’s structural integrity. It is accompanied by its period original scabbard, constructed of a gilded bronze shaft with etched floral designs around the circumference. The upper third of the shaft features two integral oak leaf bands with loops for the accommodation of a hanger. The set remains in an overall extremely very fine condition.
