A Michael I Royal Romanian Army Officers Dress Dagger - Romanian-made, measuring 265 mm in length with the scabbard on, this dagger has a chrome-plated steel blade, non-magnetic, double-edged diamond cross section, with un-sharpened edges and a semi-sharp tip, plain design, exhibiting light contact, the blade measuring 132 mm in length. The dagger has a chrome-plated bayonet-style crossguard with a cast floral design, the quillon turning downward, black synthetic grip plates held in place on either side via two rivets, bronze-coloured cypher of Michael I on the obverse, an eagle's head forms the pommel with its red glass eyes intact, a lateral ring hole below the eagle's head but is missing the squarish ring that would have attached to a portepee, the dagger measuring 215 mm in length. The scabbard is chrome-plated and comes with a ball finial, a clip on the obverse for attachment to a belt, with scattered surface wear, sticker residue on the reverse and does not fit tight to the dagger, the scabbard measuring 176 mm in length. Very fine. (C:41)
