ITALIAN MVSN 1936 OFFICERS DAGGER WITH CHAINS.

Perhaps one of the most elegant of the WW2 Axis dress daggers, and always popular with collectors.
Introduced in 1935/6 to replace the 1st Pattn dagger which had a single rear strap fixing. The chained officers version either had twin leather straps or the brass metal chain, as this does.
The dagger itself remained the same in the ‘upgrade’. A heavily Art Deco influenced eagle head pommel. Black Bakelite grips with Facist brass insignia inset. The chrome plated blade was single edged and never had a maker. This example is in lovely condition. Aluminium hilt is perfect. Mint blade. Black painted scabbard has 98% of the original black gloss paint. Brass chains with top clip showing an eagle and MVSN lettering, with large ‘M’ (Mussolini)
