Hi gents, here are some pics of my latest purchase: 1937 Tank Corps Borowski dagger with dedication: "Panu Podpulkownikowi O'Brien de Laçy 17. III. 1937 B.B.Techn. Br.Panc."
According to the inscription this dagger belonged to Colonel Patryk O’Brien de Lacy who was the head of Technical Research Armored Arms Bureau (B.B.T. Br.Panc.) in Warsaw.
Full biography of O’Brien de Lacy can be found HERE
