This outstanding "Paymaster's dagger is featured on page 37 of Wittmann's navy book. Where credit is due, I have to quote Tom who told me via email that "Weinhold must have been embezzling from the Kaiser's navy to have afforded this beauty." Very funny, Tom! The piece is in near flawless condition, with more than 95% of bright fire gold finish to all parts. The etched blade is in HIGH near-mint condition, and exhibits the stamped markings of the WKC firm. Leather is supple and undamaged. The reverse clam-shell is engraved Weinhold. This is a piece destined for the collection of the person who has everything! Not to be missed.
