ARTIFACT:
This is a large, impressive and rare model 1927 Czechoslovakian Air Force officer's dagger: it is even more rare because of its hanger. The grip is brass with portions enameled in white, and the crossguard has a decorative disc with the Czech coat of arms (lion rampant). The top of the crossguard has a decorative tiled pattern. The ricasso bears a maker mark on either side. It is unclear whether the brown suede on the scabbard is original.
