Create my profile now!This is a French Air Force NCO dagger as it appears on page 108 of Robert Berger’s “World of Dress Daggers”. All fittings have a squared-off design, including the sheath and grip. The grip is constructed of a dark blue celluloid material with brass fittings *minor scratches*. The crossguard below is very simple with two short quillons and squared ends. The scabbard is constructed of wood with dark blue leather *showing signs of age related wear* and squared-off brass fittings with brass eyelets and carrying rings. The blade is a nickel plate example, having double edged construction with centre ridge, with an aged patina. The ricasso is short and has the name of the manufacturer “R.R.C.”. There should be a small spring assembly installed on the right edge of the blade, which keeps the dagger within the scabbard, this is missing. These daggers were first produced in 1924, but they were worn through the 1950’s. Measurements: Blade - 26 cm and overall – 36 ½ cm. UK delivery for this rare piece is included in the price. 19584.
