The heel of the blade has the SOLINGEN maker’s mark on the front (squirrel in an oval surrounded by an oval inscription: CARL EICKHORN SOLINGEN.
The decorative ornamentation on the blade was made in the form of a complex ornamental etching. The lower part of the blade depicts a sailing ship, above which is an admiralty anchor with a monarchical crown. Above the crown is a decoration in the form of a trophy battle weapon with military flags, a little higher is a decoration in the form of a plant ornament. The etched etching on the blade is very refined, because the background on the blade is matte and dark and the decorative elements are finely polished.
The scabbard is made from two identical sod halves of gilded brass with relief decoration. After hand finishing and applying relief ornaments, two identical halves were welded to the edges and necks were added to them, attached with two brass screws. On the upper part of the sheath are two decorative rings with relief ornaments in the form of a wreath of intertwined laurel leaves. The rings have welded lugs for hanging at height.

Between the decorative rings is a relief decoration in the form of an oval medallion made of ship’s rope, in which a decorative admiral’s anchor is decorated. In the lower part of the scabbard is a relief of Neptune with a triangle. All copper parts of the dagger are gilded with the so-called fire gilding.

There are two wooden pads on the inside of the scabbard, so that the blade slides between them when removing the dirk from the scabbard and placing the dirk back into the scabbard to prevent damage and wear to the blade when it touches metal. The creators have carefully calculated every millimeter of this dagger amazingly accurately. The dagger is perfected to the utmost perfection. This type of dagger is considered to be one of the shortest and most beautiful variants of nautical daggers.
The German army, Kriegsmarine, took this type of dagger for the needs of their navy for the Admiralty and simply added a German eagle with swastika to it. The templar is made of silver thread with stripes of blue, white and red (the colors of the national flag).
