IJN Dagger

[Got da Penny]

Hey Guys, Just picked this up tonight.
am i correct in the assumption the Navy Daggers had "shark skin wrap" and the Army had the leather scabbard ??

Anyways, Take a look and feel free to comment.

I had a chance to buy one of these about 15 yrs ago for $50 but was going through a rough spot and had to return it to owner.

Look at me know, I finally have one !! and under $375.
