    After sorely missing the Axis Forces dagger dispaly in the Hungarian Military Museum, I thought we could start a virtual one here. Please post any and all WW2 period Air Force Dress Daggers...

    Naturally I will start off with something Hungarian

    After searching for five years now for one other (I sold my 1944 NCO dagger in 2003 :banger: ) I finnaly found an original. This is a Royal Hungarian Air Force officer grade pilots parade dagger. Original war time production. She is a bit salty - but she is not a four letter word that starts with "F". :cheeky: as many you see today are (as enterprising folks used parts of the old dies in the 1960's to make 'museum copies'....and till recently they produced many more...

    Anyhow - enjoy - if she could only tell the tales....
