A Small Dirk for Your Viewing

[QUOTE=Shakethetrees]Terry,

I have seen several over the years of similar form that, from conventional wisdom, were called "naval dirks".

Shakethetrees,
I have that book and many others on weapons of the sea services and it does not conform to any I saw. As you said they call all kinds of dirks "Naval". I think it is a neat type and was found with a bunch of WW2 items in a house clean out a few years ago, in fact a NSDAP membership pin was attached to it.
