Own a piece of history! This auction is for a rare dagger that was issued to Iraqi naval officers for wear with their dress uniform. From what I've read, most of these daggers were destroyed after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. The dagger was manufactured by WKC in Germany. The stainless steel blade has an Arabic Republic of Iraq slogan imprinted on one side along with the WKC Solingen Germany Stainless maker's mark in western text. One side of the metal pommel h...as an Iraqi bird of prey and the other side has a naval anchor. The wire wrapping around the dagger's plastic grip/handle is complete and tight. Overall, the dagger is in good-to-very good condition. On a scale of 1 to 10, it is about a 7.5. It has some bad scratches on the blade's reverse (as shown in the photos). The scabbard is in excellent condition. The dagger is approximately 16 inches long when in the scabbard and approximately 14.5 inches out of the scabbard. It would make a great gift for a veteran of Desert Storm or Operation Iraqi Freedom. The item will be shipped to the auction winner for free by USPS Priority Mail.
