Thank you for the kind words, Vern!

Thanks for your comment, Gary.
Did you ever come across an unmarked Kriegsmarine dagger with the ship etch blade, I did not...
The color, dept and texture of mark and ship etch are identical (under the strong magnifying glass), in a stamped mark i would not have believed myself, I suppose...
Also the piece remains completely untouched and will stay like that: patina on the brass of the scabbard, where the gilding got worn off could be shiny polished (like most)
And I did not pay extra for the rare mark...
Still have the compare the eagle and other features with the known makers.

Did anyone come across another one or has a period Malsch & Ambronn catalogue?

Best regards,

Herman
