This is only available to US buyers due to import restrictions. Well this ultimate Army dagger for the advanced collector! Absolutely the most desirable dagger that could be bought in the period and remains the pinnacle today! The etched blade and bone grips were extra cost options that could be specially ordered. This would have been for the well-heeled Officer. The blade conforms to the textbook pattern shown in Witty's reference. The plating and etching are very nice on this one. It has the very slightly yellow tinge that we see on all original Voos examples. There are a few age dots but all in all an Exc++ blade. It is etched with the correct Voos, "snake around the stump" maker mark. Shows most of the light gray burnishing in the actual engraving. The grip has age striations and cracking which is absolutely normal on period grips. No chips and it has beautifully aged. The Generic Type A fittings are correct and exactly what one expects to see on an original Voos dagger. All the fittings display nice even patina. The scabbard shows some age and plating loss, yet remains dent free! This one also comes with a NM portepee! This dagger would be the highlight of any collection and will certainly turn heads when ever seen. You will be proud to own this and you have every right to be!!
