Imperial Navy Dagger Portepee.
Portepees were obtained from a former worker at the Luneburg Co. in Kiel. This worker, who has no connections in the collecting community, stated that they are absolutely original and period produced. Upon examining the portepees under a black light, it was discovered that some of the threads in the acorn dot failed the black light test; however, as experienced collectors are aware, florescent type threads of this type were used prior to/during WWII, and this type of test is not 100% fool-proof. I've never located any portepees of this quality that were post-war produced. MINT (11418) $225.@

The portepees are in MINT, unissued condition and the same quality as the originals. When other competitors/dealers criticize these replacement portepees for not being the real thing, ask them to sell you the originals. In some cases, the originals are non-existent. For example, we have sold only two (2) original Red Cross Officer dagger portepees and only three (3) original Postal dagger portepees in the past thirty-five years! Conversely, we have sold several thousands of these replacement portepees and have yet to have a single one returned-- the quality speaks for itself.
