    Romanian Navy and army dagger

    Hi Guys whats your thoughts on this lot of items?

    If I have researched correctly the first dagger is a Navy dagger that could possibly have a ivory grip and the second dagger is a Army dagger model 1952 ?

    The awards seems to be three commemorative 23th of August medals and a medal for war merit in unknown class (possibly 2nd?)

    So are they all genuine and correct and are any of the items rare or unusual? Are the red and beige tubes for the daggers?


    Any information is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Bjorn

    There were not daggers in the Romanian Navy during WW1, at least not officially.
    The first Navy daggers were adopted by the Royal Decree Nr. 2008 of 12th of May 1921. According this document, the Navy officers daggers should have the grip made in ivory, of elliptical shape, with the pommel of a crown shape. The cross guard had a rectangular central body decorated with an inclined anchor, and had two extreme round quillons. The blade was straight double edged, and the scabbard was made in brass and had two loose-rings.
    These daggers should be carried only on walking out dress. On full dress, evening dress and campaign dress, the M. 1870 Navy swords were still in use.
    In fact, as for the swords, a lot of models of daggers, of different shapes, dimensions and origins, were carried. The most well-known producers were Carl Eickhorn and Alex. Coppel of Solingen.
    Officially these daggers were distributed to the students of the Navy Academy. The Navy officers should carry M.1930 swords for the ceremonial and gala uniforms. However these weapons were too uncomfortably and expensive and sometimes, for special events, Navy officers continued to carry daggers.
    There was also a M.1921 Navy students dagger. This weapon had a straight four edges blade, a spiral black bone grip with a crown-shape pommel and a cross-guard decorated with an anchor. The scabbard was in black leather with locket, chape and loose-rings made in brass. The M.1921 Navy students dagger was officially replaced by the M.1921 Navy officer model in 1930.
