UNMARKED GERMAN DAGGERS
Unmarked WWII German Kriegsmarine (Navy) daggers generally hold a high collector value, often ranging from $1,000 to over $3,000+ USD, depending heavily on condition, gilding, scabbard type, and blade engravings. While marked examples (like Eickhorn) are prized, authentic unmarked daggers are desirable, with high-quality, excellent condition, or rare variations (like brass or engraved) reaching the top end of the market.
