I had one of these naval bladed AC daggers once. I returned it to the seller. It is not even a Frankenstein, it is a completely fabricated fake. When one compares it to an original the craftsmanship while good, is simply not there. AC daggers all originally had a thin silver plating over a brass base. If one looks closely even the most worn original dagger has traces of the original silver plate remaining in the recesses of the detail. The fake dagger I had displayed none. In fact it had that funky dark splotchy faked patina as this one shows. The cross guard is not formed properly. AC daggers NEVER had navy blades. This organization was under the auspices of the the German Reich not a military branch. Typical heraldic eagles, implements of war such as lances and drums as well as a "floral" motif are typical etches. More frequently you encounter them with plain blades.
