Dagger

[Ron C.]

I guess I got "ripped" pretty good back when I bought this........many years ago, don't remember how many, where or who. I think I paid about $20, and found out later that all the guys were saying not worth more than $10. I don't know anything really about Japanese stuff, but I think someone told me it was a lower quality Naval dagger. I guess the emblem on the top of the pommel is badly damaged. What can you tell me about this item?

Thanks,
Ron

Standard Issue Naval Officer's Dirk. If They Were Worth $10 At The Time You Bought It, That Had To Be A Very Long Time Ago.

It was...........I don't remember when it was, but a nice Heer or LW dagger was bringing about $25-30 around the time I bought it.

Luca, yours is a WW2 Chinese nationalist dagger.

sounds as though you bought this in the late 60's. At this point, I think you can recoup your investment

Yes, but $20 now doesn't have the value of $20 back then. I am sure it was no more recent than the 60's when I got it in all likelihood.
