Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice example of a Brazilian Air Force Dress Dagger, complete with the original leather and brass adorned scabbard. These were carried during ceremonial occasions by Air Force Personnel and were not intended for combat use.
The dagger has a lovely “Eagle Head” style pommel, ribbed ivory/bone grip with twisted brass wire, and brass crossguard featuring the Brazilian Coat of Arms on one side with the Order and Progress political motto of positivism, “Ordem E Progresso”. The hilt has a scabbard release button on the opposite side from the guard. The 10 1/2″ blade is blank though the ricasso bears a serial number (0270) and maker, Erberle.
The scabbard is the standard type seen, made of lacquered leather with brass throat, drag and (2) hanger rings.
Condition is very good, with the expected wear of age. A seldom seen dagger, ready to add to your collection!
