Hi.
Was hoping to get some assistance in determining the type and value of this dagger. It was given to me by my grandfather. Not sure how he acquired it, but he was a captain in the Italian Merchant Marine during WWII...
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for confirming. It has an aluminum chain fitting, I think. Not in mint condition; any ideas as to value?

Hi LS,
It is a bit difficult from the pictures given but I would suggest it is worth around £400 (Sterling)
Best wishes,
Ian

And while you are at it I suggest you wipe your finger prints off the blade. 
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
