2nd Model Naval Dagger with Artificial Damascus Blade by Alcoso-A nice original example. The pommel is nicely detailed, as does the textbook Alcoso crossguard with the diamond shape in the reverse center block. The original release button works. The grip is the usual wood covered in celluloid being tightly wrapped with very thin twisted wire. The scabbard is typical Alcoso lightning bolt type, with good, clear stamped designs throughout. The acanthus leaves are pointed on Alcoso pieces, and we see that design trait clearly here. The bands and rings remain in nice condition, the former being interesting as the oak leaves run in the opposite direction to most other producers and the latter having inserted reinforcing sleeves. The artificial Damascus large rosebud blade has a layer of rust covering most of its surface with only the reverse ricasso remaining clear. It is here we can clearly see the original Damascus pattern and later trademark of the AWS scales off to the left of Alcoso in script above Solingen. The original faded red buffer remains. A fine example of a desirable dagger!
