    1. reverse - please note the differences between the ships...
    2. Gentlemen, this is my latest purchase. I?ve never seen this kind of blade engraving on a german naval cadet dagger before. It shows the sailing ship motiv with fouled anchors. It?s not etched - it?s engraved. The blade is in fairly good condition. Unfortunately some darkening and and light flaking near crossguard and tip. This dagger has a nice scabbard with floral designs and is dent free. Ivory grip with some age lines, but still nice. Carl Kaiser daggers are scarce as the company stopped production before World War I. I like the scabbard pattern with the floral design. It?s a kind of Art Nouveau style. Additionally I was surprised about the workmanship of the hand engraved blade. It?s an nice dagger, uncleaned and unplayed with, unfortunately there are some imperfections on the blade. But I like it. Anybody with further infos about this maker ? Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Regards; Flyingdutchman
    3. Canadian commando during training. Thanks for patience !
    4. Gentlemen, I bought this dagger in Dieppe/France. The only information I could found comes from a friend of mine in the north of France. It is an english dagger, fabricated between 1941 and ?42 and used by the Canadian troops in Dieppe. Additionally he made the presumption that an item like this could be possibly one of the rarest commonwealth commando daggers of ww2 because they were issued just a couple of month. Do you ever heard about this commando knife or do you have any related photos ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot ! Flyingdutchman
    5. Gordon, thank you very much. Please let me know from which one you want to see close up pics. Best wishes.
    6. Hello, unfortunately not. But I?m very close to a named 1890 german imperial cadet dagger with an interesting history. We?ll see. But the second one from the left has a nice blade presentation period done. "Who don?t have joy on a shiny sword / The fly of the falcon / The noble horse / The beautiful wife / Has no truly heart inside." Best regards.
    7. Gentlemen, I?m new in this forum and I just want to say hello with a photo of my naval daggers. This will be my first contribution here. German imperial naval daggers are my favourites. Additionally I like other rare and famous weapons. My best wishes to the members of this forum. Best regards. Flyingdutchman
