Kriegsmarine officer's dagger with portepee by Adolf Braun. Adolf Braun is a rare maker
of KM daggers. This dagger features a deep orange grip that contrasts nicely with the
original gold cord portepee. The twistcord wire wrap is tight. The red felt buffer is
intact. The portepee shows minor fraying but that's fine. It lends to the originality
of the overall piece. The brass pommel cap, lower crossguard and scabbard all show nice
age patina having lost the original gilt finish which is common on KM daggers. The
blade is mostly mirror finished and in very good condition but has areas of minor
lifting of the finish mostly near the tip. Rare maker and very collectible. $1,895. More Pictures |

Diplomatic official's dagger by Alcoso. I personally believe this is the most elegant
dagger designed during the Third Reich. This rare dagger features mother-of-pearl grip
plates. The pommel features a stylized eagle's head. There is some wear to the silver

has excellent finish . All internal parts are numbered "44". The scabbard has an even
patina with no dents. The blade has excellent crossgraining and has several areas of

background but it still looks great having no dings. The blade is stamped "1609" under
the crossguard eagle. The condition of the blade rates near mint with full
crossgraining and no smudging or pitting. Rare - $7,995. More Pictures |

SS "Ground Roehm" by Carl Eickhorn. This dagger features nickel silver fittings. The grip
SS button and grip eagle show nice detail. The wood grip has a deep, dark brown color with
the black finish having been worn through. This is quite common. There are a couple of
small chips below the upper crossguard fitting near the grip button. This is common on
these hardwood grips and doesn't detract from the overall appearance. The scabbard does
show heavy wear to the once black finish. There is oxidation pitting evident on the
obverse and reverse surfaces. The lower scabbard fitting also has been "dinged" having
an uneven surface. The lower ball is well shaped. The blade has been cleaned and the
crossgraining is gone but is in excellent condition with no smudges or pitting. The
acid etch is deep and the motto, "Meine Ehre Heisst Treue" looks great. On the
reverse, the Roehm dedication has been professionally removed leaving a clean
surface but tell-tale signs of the Roehm name. Cleaned but a good example on
an SS "Ground Roehm". $3,750. More Pictures |

Kriegsmarine officer's dagger by WKC - named. This fine example features the officer's name
etched into the reverse upper blade - "Schmielau" but I'll get to that shortly. The
stylized KM pommel cap retains a good portion of its original gilt finish. The grip
shows a nice age patina with a tight grip wire. The lower crossguard fittinf, like the
eagle, retains some its original finish. yThe scabbard has an uneven patina There are
no dings. This dagger also features the kind of lower crossguard "push-button". The
blade is in excellent but not mint condition. The acid etch features the sailing ship
motif. On the reverse is the engraved officer's name - "Schmielau". It's rare to
fine KM daggers with the owner's name. It might be worth doing the research on the
officer. The bright blade has a couple of very minor dark spots. It's still a
highly collectible piece. $1,800. More Pictures |

sharkskin grip shows minimal wear. The nickel silver plated surfaces of the "P" guard, backstrap

Heer Kavallerie Regt. No. 5 officer's dovehead, triple engraved sword by Carl Eickhorn. This
early model Eickhorn Nr. 1312, features crossed sabers on the obverse langet indicating
cavalry. I suppose the beautifully etched panel on the blade that
reads "Kavallerie Regt. No. 5 might be a give-away too. The pommel, backstrap, quillon
and qullion base all have a deeply etched repeating oak leaf motif. It's beautifull
to see this Eickhorn detail.The blade features the Kavallerie Regt. 5 designation
making it an early piece. It would be worth looking the unit as a research
project. The reverse of the unit panel side inscription features another acid
etched panel featuring a beautifully detailed two small Wehrmacht eagles flanking
single riders and another showing mounted cavalry. The blade has areas where the
mirror finish has been lost or grayed but it's the etching and history of this

NSKK enlisted with hanger by Johan Leupold (rare maker). This excellent example was
originally an SA that was period repainted after the owner joined the NSKK. The black
repaint was well done and is evidenced by traces of the paint on the inner lip of the
upper scabbard fitting. There is no question that this was period done judging by the
paint and patina of the scabbard. The dagger features beautiful, rich textured
reddish brown grip and a finely detailed nickel silver grip eagle. The richly
patinaed upper and lower crossguard fittings leave no question that this piece
hasn't been apart or cleaned. The period paint shows normal wear but has no
detracting rust or wear. The lower scabbard fitting's ball does have some dents
and a minor stress crack. This does not detract from the overall display of
the piece. The reverse of the lower crossguard is group stamped "Fr" (Franken). Attached
to the scabbard is a two piece original hanger. The brown leather shows mild aging but
looks great with the piece. The blade has some very minor surface spotting but retains
most of its original cross-graining and is mostly bright. The "Alles fur Deutschland" motto
is deeply acid etched. This is a great piece with some real history to it. $1200. More Pictures |
