Description
This Reichsmarine dagger original came of the family and had a second Kriegsmarine top pommel with it. The officer's started serving with the Reichsmarine and unless buying a new dagger after 1935 he simply purchased a new Kriegsmarine top pommel since the rest of the dagger is identical. This dagger was definitely worn for a long time and with two different pommels which are both still there.
 
Nicely worn dagger with patina. Clean with a WKC maker's mark. Officer's portepee definitely original attached. White grip in good condition. Intact metal wire. Overall nicely matching patina. Extra top pommel with matching patina as well.
 
Good condition 2.
