KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA POLICE OFFICER'S DAGGER ca.1930

SVECANI BODEŽ ZA PRIPADNIKE PLICIJE KRALJEVINE JUGOSLAVIJEThis early example of the Royal Yugoslav police official's dagger is 39.5 cm long overall, with a 26.5 cm blade by WKC Solingen. Blade has some shallow pitting, and is straight. The spring-loaded scabbard catch on the blade works fine. A silver-toned Yugoslav Royal Coat of Arms is soldered to the scabbard. This was originally a better quality dagger than most others I've seen, and has some period wear.  A nice, affordable inter-bellum period Yugoslav police dagger for the World War II or Balkan weapons collector.
