Went to a local 150 table show and saw this early! Took a few pics as I had no clue what it was!

Hi Paul,

What you have is a Russian Forestry dagger. I am on my way out the door so I can not find it right now, but this would be a Tsarist era Foresters dagger (official issue). But, I do not know which iteration. It does look original but these are reproduced.

If the Russians were buying this would go for over $2,000
NOt that you asked.

There is a model 1876, but I believe yours is a model 1904 for the "forest-warden corps.

Can you give us a close up of the blade or describe the etch?

Thanks for the info! I took some pics real fast and have no more!

Guy had it and was not sure he would sell and later he did!

I am sure price was real good for buyer!

Thats how it goes!

It has the Jerry lewis look! Just didn't know what it was or value!

But thought I would grab a few pics for members!

Thanks for looking!
