Probably the best original video clip of officer daggers being handed out and worn for the first time at Marine Kriegsschule Mürwik.

Taken from the 1943 Deutsche Wochenschau, and of unusually high video quality. Kriegsmarine Fahnriche at the Mürwik naval warfare school are awarded their officer daggers. The candidates first attach the naval hangers to their belts and then attach the scabbard rings to the hanger clips, under close supervision. Unlike their Kriegsmarine counterparts, Heer officer candidates had to obtain their own daggers, for example, at the various Heereskleiderkasse outlets.

Gustavo, very interesting and nice shortcut. Thank you for your effort to show this to us!

Just another example of the wonderful information you bring to the forum. I don't recall commenting on one of your strings before, but I have enjoyed (and learned from) them all.

Thanks Ford, but when it comes to daggers, you are one of the real masters! I appreciate not only your knowledge, but the always polite and well reasoned approach of all your postings
