German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, DRK) officers dress dagger. Introduced after 1938 these daggers are rarely stamped with any manufacturers marks. The pommel has a plain, oblong shape and a multi-slotted screw cap, flush with the flat top of the pommel. The grip is grooved, with 9 wide and 10 narrow alternating horizontal bands. The grip was originally produced of light yellow celluloid, but as a result of aging, the grip appears dark orange/caramel. The crossguard arms are rectangular-shaped with rounded ends, and the obverse and reverse crossguard have an oval plate. The obverse plate features the 1938 2nd pattern DRK eagle, while the reverse is blank.
The blade is composed of steel, while the ricasso areas are nickel-plated. The blade itself is double-edged with a pointed tip.
The scabbard is composed of a nickel-plated alloy, and the front and back facings are pebbled.
The dagger has a very clean silvered hanger and knot.
