Sorry Wes, Not a military dress dagger that I know of. The tang looks to be round. Not really a good sign.

I used to have a boot puller with a very similiar motif but that's a whole other story. It was called a "Naughty Nellie"! Jim

Guess the starting point would be to figure out what the Crossguard Angel stands for. Possibly this is a symbol for something not simply a fantasy.
It reminds me of the Company logo in AI movie. Maybe the dagger comes from the future:):)
But seriously - are there any marks on the blade Wes?

I agree. Usually the fantasy pieces have all kinds of fake nazi or Italian or SS markings to try to sell. This does not have such extra junk. It appears well made, too.
The figure might be Icarus the mythical chap who thought he could fly. He was the emblem of thee NSFK but an entirely different representation. Glider club ?
Look carefully for marks of any kind.

This is well made and for sure old, still cant find any info online. the most simmular logo I can find is that of the NSFK but thats it, It does appear mythical like some angel or winged god.I will be checking it over better for markings....thanks

#160590588190 - terrible. Good pictuers. Comes with a thumb up:) The owner probably did not even glue it and the new owner will get a supprize. Who buys that stuff anyway?...
