Unknown dagger?

[battlefront1939]

Any idea what this is? At first I thought an Italian air cadet knife but it has a lion head, but looks just like an air cadet dagger. Any thought? I found one exactly like this online as marked as an imperial German dagger. Or is this a big fantasy pice.
Thanks

Schlange is correct. There is zero period documentation for all the knives produce3d after the surrender for the occupying troops. You see these offered as various youth knives but there is no basis for that.

Yes ; exist more variants of those daggers eagle head and lions head white and black grip; produced in Naples South Italy during the Allied Government for the "US boys" hunters of souvenirs of war.
