Welcome Alex.
Definitely not my field, but to me it LOOKS like a military type hanger of some sort (2 suspension rings). The blade could be from a shortened Lebel bayonet, but then I am only guessing. Hopefully someone will be able to identify more accurately. Stu |

Looks to me like a typical soviet era eastern block/Russian style military parade dirk or dagger. I do not think it's a repurposed French bayonet. The AO mark may tell where it came from.

I agree, it looks similar to Imperial Russian naval dirk, but it's not. Russian or Soviet daggers don't have riveted handles or brass scabbards.
In the last couple of years I’ve seen two more identical daggers with the same markings “AO”. So, looks like this could be officially issued dagger.

Yes, it looks like a naval dirk of some sort, but that construction is unusual.
What I can tell you is it's not a Lebel bayonet blade. The geometry is all wrong. The "flutes" on the Rosalie are much narrower and deeper, with side at square angle to each other and a radius at the bottom. The taper doesn't match either. |

Poignard sous officier Russe
Bpnjour,
Il faudrait se renseigner du coté des poignards de sous officier de l'Armée Impériale Russe vers la fin du XIXe. Il me semble que les officiers avaient des poignards avec une lame fort ressemblante mais avec fourreau de cuir et garniture de laiton. Belle journée |

Let's help him this time ... Hello, It would be necessary to inquire on the side of the sub-officers (NCO) daggers of the Russian Imperial Army towards the end of the 19th century. It seems to me that the officers had daggers with a very similar blade but with leather scabbard and brass trim. Have a nice day |
