Need help identifying three Daggers / Hirschfaenger

[telvis78]

Hello,

I was asked to review some Nazi era daggers and guns the other day that were brought back by a WW2 vet who has since passed. I was stumped by these three. May be you could help me?
The first one is this one - It's quite beautiful, but I have no idea... There are etchings with a crown and an "A" in the blade among others.





The second one is this one - I believe it's Pre-WW1 Forestry Service, though I am not sure.



And the third one:




Any pointers, may be even values would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'd say 2 u. 3 are Forestry or Jäger of pre 3. reich period.
The 1. appears to be some sort of Kriegsmarine dagger, But you failed to show the entire handle! Also clear photos of both sides of the blade would be nice. Is there any makers mark on the blade?

Here's a site you can go through to identify your own dagger. Don't know why guys can't find these sites... http://www.wwiidaggers.com/NVL12.htm

Maybe they're total computer illiterates like me BAR. A 70's degree in Mechanical Engineering didn't prepare me for the intricacies of compu'ers. So I stick to what I know a little about..... sweeping the leaves up

Maybe...that's where I was a few years ago but had to get past it.

Hello BAR and everybody else,

Thanks for the replies. I am not computer illiterate. I looked through a few German websites first, found the blankwaffenforum, which is a very good site, but now after some bad mishaps following the sudden death of their admin is now basically defunct. I finally found you guys here.
I was looking for something pre-WW2 since there were no Swastika present on these Hirschfanger but couldn't find a picture page, mostly since I wasn't sure what to search for. "Hirschfänger identify" or similar things mostly took me to strange pages that didn't help too much.

Anyways, thanks for the pointers. I will try to follow this up with better pictures so that may be we can figure out what the 2nd and 3rd one really are.

Thanks,

Telvis

I search the heck out of pretty much anything before asking here because I don't want to look like a complete dumbass but you guys are the best. Sometimes I just ask here to save myself hours of looking.

I'm a bit like you Aragorn but I look and ask here simply to save hours of looking elsewhere!!!!!

The dagger is a navy dirk but what's strange is the handle. It should have about 6 or so wraps of the wire twist. It has three complete wraps and a very white handle. Other than that it is navy... It could be a personal order for an individual though.

The naval dirk is a Yugoslavian Naval Officer Dirk M1924. The wire wrap on the grip is correct. It's about half the number of wraps found on similar dirks, but that's the way it is. The crown-A is the royal cypher of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, who reigned 1929-34. The scabbard carries the Yugoslavian Greater Coat of Arms used 1918-41.
