Hello guys,

I would like to ask your opinion on a Puma navy dagger I purchased lately. I am not a navy collector, this is the very first time I have a Puma produced Kriegsmarine dagger in my hands. Is it OK? Based on the photos of Wittmann's book I think it is a good one...

Thank you,
Janos

That is very nice indeed well done

Hi Janos,
in my opinion is it a textbook KM dagger by Puma. If it is interesting for you, you can visit my website

Oleg.

Sean, Oleg,
thank you for your replies. I am glad the dagger is OK.
Is there any database for Kriegsmarine officers like Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries at http://www.ww2.dk/lwoffz.html , where I could make a research for the original owner?

Oleg, your website is just great! Thanks!

Janos

That's a beautiful navy dagger by Puma. Not an easy maker to find! Well done.

Danny

Janos,
thank you very much for your kind words. Maybe you can try to find an owner of the dagger in the "Rangliste der Deutschen Kriegsmarine ".

Oleg.

JANOS, Very nice and I love the personalization! Conforms to my Puma Navy in all ways, just need the red felt blade buffer.. Congrats! Kevin.

Guys, thank you for your contribution.
Kevin, that's all what is left of the red blade buffer... See photo.

Janos

Ha! Look at that bit.. speaks to the unmessed with condition that that is still there! Kevin.

Danny,

I have just one KM & it's a Puma, identical to yours but sadly without a personalization. Great looking dagger, well done!

My Puma KM dagger is also personalized. Not so fine like the dagger from Janos, but I like it nevertheless.

Very nice dagger, its got tge original knot and the etch looks fantastic, and to top it off its a scarce maker!

Hi,

unfortunately I could not find him. Neither here: http://historisches-marinearchiv.de/projekte/crewlisten/ww2/eingabe.php?neu=1&active_cl2=search
nor in my 1931, 1935, 1936, 1938, 1940, 1941 KM ranklist. Seems to me he served as NCO.

Herman,
thank you very much for try to find him in the archives.
