Does anyone here have an idea what this might be? I found it in a bunch of stuff that a WWII Vet's granddaughter had at her house. So far, all I found is a bunch of paperwork, and this.
Thanks, Chief

After I looked at old newspapers, and misc. military base paperwork for over an hour, I told her that I look for old daggers, medals, uniforms and stuff. She said "I have a dagger". I was really interested and excited, then she showed me this thing. I have no idea what it is.

I looked very carefully, and cannot find any markings at all. As you can see, the grip is pined to the blade, and does not come off. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Chief

Looks to me like a masonic dirk that hangs from a black sash. I have owned two...
