Nicholas Posted 4 May , 2022 Share Posted 4 May , 2022 Does anyone recognise this specific dagger? Possibly German Imperial Navy, but it has a very distinctive scabbard. If anyone can help me with this /and preferably give links, sources of screenshot images), I would be very grateful. Of course, if anyone has in depth knowledge of the range and production of these daggers, it would be of great help. Q1. Is this possibly a variant of the 1906 model? Q2. Was there a later variant that came after the 1906 model and before the Reichsmarine daggers began to appear (@1933?)? Q3. Was there a 1924 model?

GreyC Posted 6 May , 2022 Share Posted 6 May , 2022 (edited) Hi, can´t help really. The imperial navy dagger I know all have the imperial crown at the top. Best, GreyC Edited 6 May , 2022 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted 6 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 6 May , 2022 Does the crown feature four imperial eagles? Very similar daggers have slightly different pommels (e.g. +/- a tang button), so may have been used as national and international variants, based on a standard pattern. Importantly, is this scabbard common to a specific service or sub-group, and do you have any idea when this model stopped being used? A similar item (with 4 eagles) was sold in the UK in 2019 as 'a Victorian Royal Navy Dirk', but I feel the dagger is German not British, and dates after the Victorian era ended in 1901.
