[QUOTE=Atlantia]Colin,
Thanks mate, I'm just worried the leather will start to crack if I don't feed it a little.

Lew,
Thanks bud, its crtainly an interesting thing.
Thats quite a late date, how come?

These types of daggers start showing up after 1920 I have a few of them and have shown them to Artzi and he confirmed that they are the second quarter of the 20th century. Also many of these daggers were brought back after WW1 AND WW2. I have an old one with a belt and it has a zippered pouch the zipper is a YKK brand so it dates it to the late 1940s.
