A German WW2 German Kriegsmarine Officer's Dagger by Horster of Solingen Probably The Cheapest Original Example On The Market

Excellent near mint deluxe blade with fully etched naval pattern anchor symbols and scrolls.The scabbard is completely dent free and very clean indeed.The gilding to the hilt has been worn throughout and the pommel has a side seam crack. However this is well reflected in the price making it the least expensive original 1930's to early 1940's German war navy dirk we have seen in years, especially so as the blade is near mint, with all its original frosting and mirror bright polishIn good condition they can achieve £800 to £900 or potentially many thousands if it had a known provenance of ownership.But, this one is just over half that price, and that makes it a fantastic, original and cheap example of these rare and collectible German officers daggers, to add to an existing collection or even to begin one. It fits beautifully snug with its scabbard with a good crisp retaining hilt scabbard buttonNo grip wire.
