Communist
Rumanian Army Officer Dagger w/Fabric Hangers.
No maker. A picture of this dagger can be found on
p. 35 of "A Guide to Military Dress Daggers",
Volume I, by Kurt Glemser. Brass fittings throughout
with a mother-of-pearl grip. Brass scabbard has the
Rumanian seal within an ornate box and has oak leaves
and acorns for the scabbard bands. Rings are present.
Scabbard has a few minor dings to the obverse and
reverse near the bottom, but the softness of this
brass would make it almost impossible for a piece
to have survived this long without any type of light
dents to the scabbard. Blade is bright but does show
very minor sharpening along the edge and is numbered
"1947". Complete with original hangers,
which are yellow with red & blue threads running
throughout. Oval buckles have the Rumanian crest.
All clips are present. This dagger is listed as "RARE"
in "A Guide to Military Dress Daggers".

commercially exported German knife is very similar
to the German paratrooper knife, only thinner in design

to the type found on the Luftwaffe Gravity knife).
Blade shows some light sharpening. Maker's name is
visible on the blade. Blade is in very nice condition.
Knife is totally black. Action release of the blade
is perfect. It is a little slow going back in. Very
rare pocket knife which is seldom encountered! These
