Got this in today but am not able to find reference to it.I got it from a soldier who brought it back from WW2 as a captured item.It came with a GIL dagger as well.What would it be..a parts dagger or tourist dagger made from parts to sell to the allied troops?What is the value for such a dagger if thats what it is?

It appears from research the scabbard and cross guard are from a variant of the rare 1923 Blackshirts dagger and the handle is from a Marine sword.Comment
