WWII German Army Officer’s Dagger with Original Portapee and Scabbard

This German Army officer’s dagger, circa 1935-1945, used by officers of the Wehrmacht during the Second World War. It features an orange celluloid grip, emblematic of Army daggers from this period, and a finely detailed crossguard depicting the Wehrmacht eagle clutching a swastika.

The blade, though unmarked, is characteristic of daggers produced by manufacturers such as WKC, known for their high-quality craftsmanship. The scabbard retains its original pebbled texture and suspension rings, while the accompanying silver portapee.

This artifact provides a tangible connection to the military traditions of the Third Reich and serves as a striking example of the ceremonial regalia used to convey status and rank. Its well-preserved condition and completeness make it a significant piece for those studying the material culture of WWII or the broader history of militaria.
