c1907 Royal Danish Navy Dagger

[torstenbel]

Hi Guys,

I hope this is the right place to ask questions about this item??... I know it is a Danish Navy Dagger, which I also know has been introduced for wear in 1907, the dagger has no markings, it is 355mm long in total...but that is pretty much where my knowledge ends... would anyone know:

a) what the hanger for it looked like and where I could obtain one to compliment the dagger?
b) how long were these in use for? When were they phased out or when was this model phased out?
c) is there a website to read up about these in german or in english?
d) although, I am not looking to sell it, what would be the approx. value of a dagger like this?

Thank you very much for looking and thank you very much for your answers and help...Cheers, Torsten.

looks good

M1907 Danish Naval.

The good points, looks like pre WWI, WwII for sure due to the ivory grip. Later models have composite grips. Also looks to be in excellent condition.

Negatives, no maker or other markings.

If you go to Worlddaggers.com you will see several Danish Naval Daggers showing the developement from 1852 through post war.

As to hangers, the Danish used string like hangers which is why they are difficult to find. I have one set that came with my Engineers dagger, but it is the only set of intact hangers I have been able to find.

This dagger should sell from $450 to $650 based on age and condition. Again, the only detractor is the lacking maker/distributor mark.

I hope that helps.

Jim, thank you very much for your reply...would be able to post a pic of the hanger that you have for this dagger??...just, so I get at least an idea of what to look for... Cheers, Torsten.

Attached is a photo of 4 Danish Nval Dggers. Yours is similar to the one second from the left.

I checked Bob Berger's World of Dress Daggers and He says the "Royal Danish Navy" dagger "Aboard ship, it is worn on the left side in vertical poition suspended from a dark blue shoulder strap" I have never seen this type of hanger. My Danish friend tells me that all services used the string hangers in photo #2

Photo # 2 which is the Model 1871 Danish Army, Artillery, and Engineer Corp Dagger with hanger. Note the string is also the belt.
