M1925 Dagger

[J. M. C.]

I had never had one of these in hand but now that I have one I can say this is one viscous dagger. I just picked it up with an Italian folding bayonet. I am not really into Italian stuff but now I may be. Unfortunately the dagger didn't have a scabbard.

I like the early style Fascio. I will try to get more pictures up a bit later.

Raffaello,
Thank you cor the correction. There isn't much information on these daggers out there. Here are the other two edged weapons that came in with the M1923. Again I will do me best to get some better pictures in the sun later.

Jim, the Carcano bayonet is the folding model, sorry to say
dagger is an old repro for more time considered an original
in photo some design model with different grip (the scan
make part of the last book of Cesare Calamandrei about
the italian daggers, scan of page 636 of the repro section)
cheers

I didn't have much hope for the white handled dagger.
