Description
Model 1935 German Army officer dagger and scabbard with hangar and portepee. Blade manufactured and marked “Karl Julius Krebs of Solingen” clearly, with some loss of detail around right edge of oval. The leather brown pebbled buffer pad remains intact and in nice condition. Blade edges are clean, with no visible nicks. Blade polish is high, with some runner marks. Karl Julius Krebs was one of the few manufacturer’s who took the extra process step of plating their blades, as opposed to polishing them, giving it a mirror-like finish! The cross-guard eagle has good detail, and its surface has some darkening. The pommel has oak leaves crisply adorning it. The celluloid grip is a nice orange color, with a slightly darker side on the front eagle side versus the rear. There are a couple of small chips on the raised spiral portion. On it is a silver portepee, in good condition with minimal fraying. The scabbard is clean with a small dent on the side approximately 1.5” from the tip. Hangers are clean with some fraying on the edges of the brocade from use and handling. Green velvet backing complete. Spring clips are functional and has brass hardware at top. Dimensions: 15.5” long overall. Please see photos for condition.
