Hi All

I'm looking for some thoughts on this dagger. Here the conclusion I have so far.

-Period applied gilt
-Correct wear spots
-Gold not applied at factory but upgraded by original owner
-Named to owner 'BOLLING'
-Groupe mark is associated with marine unit bases

Any thoughts appreciated. I love this dagger, I picked it up very reasonably priced.

Thank you in advance. James
