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.
