Kriegsmarine 2nd model Eickhorn etched dagger with portepee and hangers

[naptime]

Here are a couple photos of my Kriegsmarine dagger. I am curious about the hangers. The buckles appear a different tone/color/hue between the two pieces. Any ideas?

That's a very nice dagger but I'm not sure if the portepee is original.

The portepee looks short. Isnt it army one? Army has easier knot so it would make sense but I have never seen army one tied as marine so dont take it as carved into stone.

Sharing for comparison KMs with portepee I have.

I think Danny is spot on.
To me this isnt an original one, the shape of the acorn and the difference in thread top and bottom of the acorn are huge red flags.

the hangers are most likely not a pair but made of 2 stand alone ones.
Make a good close up of the 2 lionhead besides eachother and see if they are identical.

Indeed the portepee is not correct. But the dagger is a nice one.
