Wecome I am Adam and I'm a Dagger and Helmet addict!!!

Nice looking ALCOSO. Appears to be correctly fitted for this maker. Common, but increasingly more difficult to find in nice condition, anymore.

Denny,

I seem to have seen more Alcoso 2nd Lufts and even more Alcoso RAD officer daggers lately than Alcoso Armies.

How common are Alcoso armies compared to other makers?

Looks like a rare aluminium piece !

ALCOSO is one of the more common makers of Army daggers.

Don't think this one is aluminum unless the plating has been worn away, exposing aluminum or other type of base metal. Real extruded aluminum has a totally different look..

I am pretty sure it has the silver fittings.Dont look like alum to me.But am still learning.
