Krebs kriegsmarine dagger

[LH 600]

Another outstanding ( and rare) example from the LH600 collection! Very nice and with interesting provenance! I have a serious soft spot for hammered scabbard navies... Do you think this one started off as a 1st model, then the pommel was replaced? The grip shape is a little atypical for a navy, but I'm not sure if this company was making them in-house or not...

Of course, given my primary collecting interests, my enthusiasm for this dagger shouldn't come as much of a surprise. (I.E. just read my signature...)

Very nice to see this. I suppose the Krebs tag not belongs to this paticular dagger because the dagger has signs of wear?

A lovely and rare dagger - well done on this acquisition. I narrowly missed out on purchasing a very similar item towards the end of last year. Do you have a Klass U-9 example ? Will try and post mine as and when I have time
