Czechoslovakian Dagger
Hello All!
I got this Czechoslovakian dagger a while back and have decided to post it. The handle was origenally the hoof in the picture but it is very fragile and I decided to remove it to keep it from breaking. I have orderd some old stag horn handles to put on it in the hoofs place the wood one in the picture is juast temporary. How old could it be? I think 1930's. It is stamped on the blade "Crown Cutlery Co. Czechoslovakia" In its old mounts it is 5" long with a 5 1/2" handle. The 'S' guard is iron or steel and the furrel is brass. I really like this little dagger because my fathers side of the family is Czech. I will post pictures when the stag handle is on it! Any comments are welcome! Mark... |
