Long model Kaiserliche Marine officer's dagger made by W.K.C.

The dagger features an etched blade on both sides showing imperial naval motifs. The etching is very light due to wear. The WKC knight logo is stamped on the back of the blade.

The very clean white ivory grip is positioned between the highly detailed imperial crown pommel and imperial cross guard. The fit from the grip to the cross guard is perfect. The red felt buffer pad is still attached around the blade against the cross guard.

The long so-called "lightning" scabbard, made of brass, has the name "Wittern" engraved on the back. One screw is missing, and the scabbard has a red corrosion spot near the bottom.
