{"product_id":"germany-kriegsmarine-an-officers-dress-dagger-by-clemen-jung-g63244","title":"Germany, Kriegsmarine. An Officer’s Dress Dagger, by Clemen \u0026 Jung","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eKriegsmarine Dolch für Offiziere\u003c\/em\u003e). An extremely well-preserved Kriegsmarine Officer’s dress dagger, measuring 42 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 25.5 cm-long, nickel-plated, magnetic steel blade which retains factory-original sharpening to the tip. Dual narrow fullers run the majority of the length of each side of the blade, which also bears double-sided, acid-etched imagery consisting of fouled anchors flanked by serpents and arabesque latticework. The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “CLEMEN \u0026amp; JUNG, SOLINGEN”, circumscribing the firm’s monogram. The blade sits securely within a gilded brass crossguard which bears double-sided central fouled anchors, with an intact leather buffer pad covering the seam. Inset into the reverse of the crossguard is a functional push-button connecting to a spring release emanating from the ricasso to release the scabbard lock. A single piece of ribbed off-white celluloid composes the handle grip, with the ribbing retaining an original twisted and rolled wire cord. The dagger culminates in a gilded brass pommel in the form of a German national eagle perched on top of a wreathed mobile swastika, screwing in to maintain the dagger’s structural integrity. Accompanying the dagger is its original scabbard, constructed of a gilded brass shaft with etched imagery decorating the outer circumference. Two integral oak leaf bands are situated just below the throat, each with a ring for the inclusion of a hanger. The throat retains a functional catch to firmly hold the dagger in place during storage. Demonstrating no notable damage or wear, this example, produced by a scarce manufacturer, remains in an extremely fine condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49988560453909,"sku":"G63244","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/eMedals_G63244_3.jpg?v=1782752414","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/germany-kriegsmarine-an-officers-dress-dagger-by-clemen-jung-g63244","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
