Kriegsmarine Dagger???

[Dubar]

Somebody on here has to know something about German daggers so here goes.

This is a naval dagger that, according to my wife and mother-in-law (both deceased) was "acquired" by one of my MILs brothers during WW2.

When I got it the portapee had already been cut off and the grip is severely cracked. Dagger has some pitting as well.

I purchased a new portapee from a fellow in Germany, but have not attempted to put it on (who tied that thing on anyway?!?!?!).

Now I want to put a new replacement grip on it, I'll keep the original parts but it's just begging to be replaced with one that is not cracked.

I've found them on line, but not sure what color to get. Is this one yellow or orange?

I tried joining a German Dagger forum this morning but it keeps saying it doesn't recognize my password, I'll give it a while to see if it finally lets me in.

Anyway, what color grip should I get? This would make a great display piece with my recently acquired Luger!

The stamp reads Carl Eickhorn Solingen.
