minor surface wear/age patina to the oak leaf pommel,
well-detailed oak leaf ferrule, and generic pattern

the upper head and beak of the eagle. Medium orange,
solid celluloid grip only faint surface wear with
no cracks, chips, or nicks, and shows light aging
in the recesses of the raised segment separation
turns. Plated double-etched blade grades EX++ showing
minor surface wear/runner marks with faint speckling
near the obverse/reverse tip, but no lifting or
nicks or damage to the cutting edges. Blade is complete
with tan leather buffer pad. Dent-free silver plated

with light surface wear and light age patina. Scabbard
features two flush-mounted throat retaining screws.

fabric with some separation of the facing from the
backing, and are complete with silver plated oak
leaf embellished upper tabs, heavy buckles, slides,
and lower clips with raised oak leaves. Nice Army
dagger with Voos quality double-etched blade. EX++
