SUPER NAVY DAGGER BY WKC WITH ORANGE GRIP, KNOT AND HANGERS!

A very nice looking dagger and usually the highlight of most collections as the combination of the orange grip against the brass colour looks fantastic WKC we’re one of the very few companies that had ‘orange’ grips on their navy daggers. 99% of everyone else had wood covered celluloid grips, including WKC! So I am pretty sure this ‘colour’ was offered as a cost option at the time, although I can’t see it listed in the WKC catalogue (someone may correct me on that). All brass fittings in very nice condition. The dagger has an original ‘gold’ coloured knot that’s always been tied to it. It is in fact cellon, early form of nylon which was used at the time. This has picked up dirt and patina over the years and toned to a ‘gold’ colour. Scabbard is the standard lightening bolt type. A few minor carrying light blemishes, but nothing bad. The blade is in near mint condition with dolphin and anchor etch. Great definition and nice background panel colour. There are a set of original moire cloth hangers with gilded aluminium buckles and clips. Show a little wear but compliment the dagger perfectly with age and use. A very nice complete ‘rig’.
