Italian MVSN Leader Dagger 1939

Axis Powers > Italy > Edged Weapons >

Here's a great example of an Italian MVSN Dagger 1939 model! The quality plated blade on this example looks stunning. The plating gives the blade a wonderful mirror like finish. It has a solid fit and perfect tip! What more could you ask for! The blade rates an easy NM. It shows just light runner marks. There is no maker mark on the blade and they are all this way. The steel based, black enamel painted scabbard looks great! It has minor spotting yet retains 98%+ paint coverage and remains completely dent free! The brass based and gold gilded fittings looks great! It continues to hold both of its original throat retaining screws and the ball remains perfectly round. The lower fitting has suffered plating loss revealing the copper base. The scabbard sits perfectly up against the hilt. The hilt is made of an aluminum base and retains that correct original matte finish. The eagle head pommel looks awesome and is nicely detailed. The black bakelite grip plates are in excellent condition, with a perfect fit. The Fascist symbol is perfectly inserted and also retains great detail! This one comes with the rarer maker marked leather hangers. Towards the top is a stylized "M" (Mussolini) and a belt clip which has a 3D Roman eagle. Perfectly finishing this is the black portepee. A complete piece you will be proud to own!
