ARTIFACT: This is a Model 1930 Swedish Air Force officer pilot dagger with a hanger and portepee, or sword knot. The dagger comes in its original gilt brass and painted wood scabbard, attached to which is a dual hanger (hanger is possibly post-WWII) that has a small winged and crowned propeller medallion. The end of the scabbard is capped in brass with a wonderful feathered or scaled design. The grip is entirely wrapped in brass wire and the pommel is capped with the trio of crowns representing Norway, Sweden and Finland. The guard is simple and squared-off in brass. The bright blade is stiletto-shaped.

VINTAGE: Circa 1930s.

SIZE: Approximately 13-1/4" in length and 3-1/2" in width (at guard); blade only: 9-1/8" in length (including ricasso) and 3/4" in width; scabbard only: approximately 9-1/2" in length and 15/16" in width; hanger has a 7-5/8" drop from scabbard; about 13-1/2" total length (while in scabbard).

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Steel blade, wire-wrapped grip, gilt brass, rayon/cotton/nylon knot; leather washer; gilt brass and painted wood scabbard.

ATTACHMENT: Hangers, sword knot.

MARKINGS: None.

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The dagger shows little wear; hanger may be post-WWII - leather washer below the guard seems to be a replacement - rivet at the top shows repair.
