This scabbard purportedly a 1st model belonging to a dagger with no maker. can anyone idebtify this as
A. a genuine scabbard
B. any thoughts on maker.
Although not very well informed on naval daggers I have some doubt due to the poor detail of the scabbard bands with straight edges and no throat screws.
Any opinions gratefully received.
Thanks!

I think it's a scabbard of a 2nd model navy and not from a 1st model. I have one navy dagger in my collection with a similar scabbard. It's a distributor marked piece from A. Braun. The only difference with your scabbard is that mine has two throat screws. You can find some pictures here: http://phpstack-500133-1583587.cloudwaysapps.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=271079#Post271079It is in the second and third picture of the second post in this thread. When I find some time I will take some separate pictures of the A. Braun dagger. Danny

I agree with Danny, it's a 2nd modell scabbard. In my opinion by H�ller.

Thanks Danny,
Yes they do look very similar. Your screws are flush fitted then? I ask as I can`t actually see any.
I think Braun was a distributor. Damn nice collection of naval daggers you have there!
Cheers Tom & Oleg, all input appreciated!

Yes, they are flush fitted. You are also correct about Braun. This was a distributor that is known to purchase parts from Alcoso. Interesting though is that the scabbard does not have the typical Alcoso features.
Oleg, the scabbard bands look like H�ller but the scabbard rings are different from H�ller. I haven't found an explanation for that yet. Because no other maker that I know of used similar rings.
Here's a picture of my H�ller navy for comparison.

Danny, an amazing dagger you have here. H�ller used similar rings with a lightning type scabbards. Maybe you have here other variant of one H�ller`s scabbard?
Best, Oleg.

Hi,
no scabbard screws makes things very difficult. I've seen just a few from Imperial time and also very few from early Weimar period. Coming along with TR dagger would cause some problems to me, maybe that's just me.
