Kriegsmarine 2nd model WKC etched dagger with hanger

[plumbob]

Hi guys,
I am thinking about treating myself for Christmas.
I might be buying my first TR dagger and would like some pointers please, as this would be the most money I have spent on any item, so you can imagine why I am being cagey.
Anyway Its a Kriegsmarine dagger apparently made by Weyersberg Kirschbaum &Co. I have a chance to take pictures of it this Saturday and was wondering if there are any particular parts I should take pictures of so i can post them here for a thumbs up or down.
Thanks for any help
Rod

Hi Rod, good clear pics are a must. Pref taken in daylight. The eagle pommel and the blade makers mark are always good things to focus upon.

Good luck!

Cheers, Ade.

Take notice to the makers logo as this maker had their logo on the front of the blade. Red felt buffer against the crossguard also,, but sometimes time takes them away,, but still nice to see. looking forward to seeing your pics. Regards Larry

Hi Rod,

we have one in the Classifieds
KM Navy Officer's Eickhorn Dagger w/ Hangers & Portepee - Militaria Collectibles buy - sell at War Relics

althou the asking price is more a "dealer" price then a "collectors between each other price"
it is a nice piece.....

Good luck on your hunt!
Cheers Ger

Hello again guys
Thanks Gerrit for the tip.
Got some pictures to judge authenticity.
I could not get day light pictures unfortunately and totally forgot about the tip though it looked ok, there were a couple of scratches which may be file marks.
It looked ok to me with about 90% of the guilt left but the blade was a bit grey.
I have other pictures if needed but thought this was more than enough, but just ask if more is needed.
Thanks for any help
Rod

Hi Rod, looks ok to me.

Cheers, Ade.

It is missing bits of it's gilding, of course, and it's portapee needs to be tied correctly to the grip, but yes-it is, indeed, genuine and the hangers are a nice extra touch to have. Is it reasonably priced?
