If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

A Second War German Naval Officer's Dagger

A Second War German Naval Officer's Dagger - Measuring 418 mm, with the scabbard on, this dagger features a 252 mm nickel-plated steel blade, magnetic, with unsharpened edges, remaining bright and crisp, with a very sharp tip. The blade's reverse ricasso is unmarked, while the blade itself exhibits twin fullers on both sides. There are very faint scratches and wear overall, with traces of surface wear, exhibiting a natural shine, near extremely fine. The red felt blade washer remains intact. The fittings are brass, bearing an anchor on both sides of the crossguard, with a blade release button. The ivory coloured celluloid grip is smooth, lightly contacted, complemented by seven rows of tightly wrapped twisted brass wire; minimal scratching. The pommel exhibits the Naval eagle standing upon a wreathed swastika, gilt wear evident on the eagle on both sides and exhibiting green oxidation on the obverse. The ornately-designed lightening bolt scabbard exhibits light contact overall, with gilt wear evident on the reverse from contact with the uniform, the finial without dents, the throat held firmly in place by two screws, the two bands displaying the traditional oak leaf design with thick dagger hanger rings, the scabbard measuring 288 mm in length. Dagger exhibits outstanding workmanship, better than very fine.
