Item appears on Ebay as an awarded dagger in 1989. What's wrong with this claim? PolishIf original, these are about $900. Comments please. Jim

Can't tell about the dagger and engraving (the pommel eagle looks poorly detailed ...) but the box itself appear more like cheaper "tourist" variation.
The real Polish Airforce Command presentation box has the white/creamy silk inside with white/red piping.

I first thought this was bogus, but after some reading, this box is identical to one Kurt has in volume 4 on presented daggers. I also thought the inscription was wrong, but I think it is consistant with others. So,
This could be good.
Kurt?

In this auction is not award dagger this is a gift to the architect from the commander of Airforce general division of pilots Tytus Krawczyc.In my opinion looks like dagger for tourist with insrciption but Jim has more experience. regards Ted

I'm surprised they would award (or gift) a dagger with what appears to be a mistake in the serial number. The overstrike looks pretty sloppy.

Hi Zet, $500 in Poland is correct. I know of at least one that traded for $900.
Also, if you think this is for the tourists, please explain why.
Gary, the numbers on the Polish daggers were stamped on with a variety of different stamps. The overstrike is not so unusual and the number is within range.
I first thought the grip color was a little on the colored side, other than white, but I think it is ok.

So, purchased by our very own Kurt Glemser. I take it Kurt believes it to be original.  Jim

Yes I think the dagger is original. Compare it to others in Volume IV of A GUIDE TO MILITARY DRESS DAGGERS and you'll see why. This volume also has a number of photos of General Krawczyc presenting daggers - he's the person who presented this one as well.

Interesting Naval dagger awarded 1998.
Zet, why not start a new thread with awarded Polish daggers. I will add mine to the thread.
