Saw this on Eban and thought it was worthy of further discussion. Anyone ever see one of these before? Ever even hear of it? I'm skeptical, but it looks good. Hard to tell from the photo's, but even the wear looks even.

While I would like to hear from Kurt on this, I think this dagger is authentic. I do not think it is a one of a kind. The price is a little high for me now.

About 15 years ago I received a sale flier from Kurt which showed the WKC version of an Iraqui Navy dagger. It had the TR eagle pommel (w/o swaz) and a white handle.

I emailed the seller asking for more details on this dagger.

Maybe he will respond

The dagger is real. The price is stupid. Manfred is correct to state that WKC made an earlier version of the Iraqi Navy dagger which was amazingly similar to the second model Third Reich Navy dagger. WKC gave this dagger its model number 1123.

I don't know if this is fact, but I was told WKC produced them in the 70's only. Thanks
