Prussian Dagger

Prussian-Style Dagger

The Mil-Tec Prussian Dagger is a reproduction edged piece made for collectors, re-enactors and anyone building a display of European military styles. It pairs a long, straight steel blade with a gold-tone shell guard and a mottled brown grip, and it comes with its own black scabbard. Mil-Tec is a commercial manufacturer, and this is a modern reproduction, not an original period piece.

Features

• Straight Steel Blade — A long, narrow blade with a plain bright finish tapers to a point.
• Shell-Shaped Guard — A fluted, fan-shaped shell sits at the base of the blade, a decorative motif common on 18th and 19th century European edged weapons.
• Decorative Quillons — Short crossguard arms, called quillons, extend to either side of the guard and end in ornamental finials.
• Ribbed Brown Grip — The handle has a mottled brown finish with lengthwise ribbing that gives it texture and a traditional look.
• Gold-Tone Fittings — The guard, ferrule and stepped pommel cap share a matching gold-tone finish.
• Black Scabbard Included — The dagger stores in a black scabbard that keeps the blade covered when it is off display.
• Matching Throat And Chape — Gold-tone metal caps the scabbard at the mouth, known as the throat, and at the tip, known as the chape, with ringed detailing on the chape.
• Mil-Tec Reproduction — Built by a commercial maker as a reproduction for display and collecting.

Display and Collection

This dagger suits a wall display, a shadow box or a period costume where an authentic-looking sidearm finishes the outfit. The contrast of the dark scabbard against the gold-tone fittings reads well from a distance. Because it is a reproduction, it lets you show the style without the cost or fragility of an antique.
