This is the classic Swiss officer's dirk, which replaced the sword in 1943. I can remember seeing these being worn by Swiss officers in the mid-60s. It is stamped at the forte 'ELSENER//SCHWYZ//VICTORIA', with a number on the reverse '155780'. This is a good example, complete with its original porte epee. The blade has virtually all its factory finish, with a little minor staining at the point. Most of the original paintwork remains on the scabbard and the hilt has fruitwood grips. The leather hanger is also in good condition. |
