Description

The dagger has a nice nickel-plated blade, etched on both sides. It features naval motifs and ornaments. "WKC" maker marked.

An orange handle with intact wire wrapping. No chipping. Gold-plated brass fittings. Fully working release button. The handle and the crossguard are slightly loose (wobbles). Furthermore, the pommel can no longer be turned. It is probably corroded (inside) or has been fixed in some other way. 

Hammered brass scabbard. Original gilding. It has a small dent.

Signs of use. Overall condition 2.
