Description
Italian Fascist WW2 MVSN Officer’s Dagger. This weapon was utilized both as a service and dress weapon. The hilt has a solid black wood grip contoured with 4 finger recesses. The cross-guard is steel as is the upper retaining plate on the top of the grip. The scabbard is pressed steel. The crossguard is finely blued. The enlisted version bears the emblem of the MVSN which is a fasces over the letters “M.V.S.N.” while the officer’s version has no such emblem. The MVSN was the Fascist Party Militia in Italy at that time (Milizia Voluntaria Sicurezza Nationale). The blade still shows a good amount of the crossgraining. Very nice example. LH4765 OHM
