Someone needs to do an indepth article or chapter in a Johnson book on these daggers. There are some variations that need to be described and their purpose needs to be reviewed.
The variations that come up are the unnumbered shorter Officer version and the so called "enlisted man's version".
Also, there are differences in the knots that were issued with SOME of the officer daggers.
All in all, a good project for someone.
