2nd Model Navy Dagger w/Dark Orange Grip & Portepee. Alcoso, ACS Scales TM. Gilded brass hilt fittings show uncleaned age residue to the factory fire gilding on the highlights and in the recesses of the distinctive Alcoso eagle/swastika pommel and unique Alcoso crossguard with the diamond motif on the reverse quillon block and more square shaped quillon arms, as well as the smaller circumference of the lower crossguard where it meets the butt plate. Crossguard is equipped with a two-piece, blade release mechanism, however the button portion has been lost to time The dark orange, solid celluloid grip is perfect with no cracks or chips and is complete with tight twisted brass wire wrap. Plated double-etched blade grades Exc+ showing minor surface wear/runner marks and some gray speckling/shadowing, but no nicks to the cutting edges. Blade is complete with red felt blade buffer pad and with only faint age to the light gray background frosting in the fouled anchor and sailing ship motif etch pattern. Dent-free, gilded brass, lightning bolt scabbard shows dark, age toning to the factory gilding with a spot of dark oxidation on the upper reverse. The scabbard features the Alcoso style sharply pointed acanthus leaves on the lower scabbard as well as steel, flat-head throat retaining screws as used by Alcoso on later production daggers. The original silver portepee in correct "reef knot" tie shows light surface wear/ age patina and minor fraying, primarily to the cord where it has rubbed against the crossguard. Nice textbook Alcoso example. Exc+ (24948) $1,600.
