    Research on Soviet Dagger (Navy-, Land-, Airforce)


    Alfred

    Recommended Posts

    I wanted to start some research about soviet parade daggers (Land-, Navy- and Air-Force dagger only)

    In most cases on one side of the blade is the producer (ИМЗ, ZIK and Bulat) and the year of the production (1945 - 1991)

    On the other side is a number. Is the number related to the dagger produced in this year or in total ? And is there a correlation between the numbers of the three daggers or they a seperatly counted?

    Due to wearing regulations Navy daggers are most common one, than Land-Forces and AirForce daggers are the rarest ones.

    best regards and thanks

    Andreas

    I also saw some dagger without number and producing year, but aways with a producer mark like SIK.

    I have no clue why are there no numbers. But maybe just forgotten.

    Can you post some pictures of your daggers without numbers?

    best regards
