The dagger comes with a finely etched blade on both sides, displaying imperial naval scenes; however, it is unmarked. It features a nice white ivory handle with intact wire wrapping. Highly detailed imperial pommel and cross guard are in place. The imperial "Blitzscheide" or "Lightning scabbard," made of iron, retains 75% of its original gilt.
