Hi Jim,
Congratulation for your amazing collection of Bulgarian air force daggers.
Cary,
The officers dirk has silver propeller only and some thing more - you can see from the photo there is other different � officers dagger has 8 cylinders and NCO 7 only.
Book text early officer, model should has the following particularity:
Eyes are made by ruby, the hilt is gold plated , silver figure on the propeller ,engrave blade, scabbard covered by leather and a ball made of kind of porcelain held by the eagle�s claw.
Late officers model has :
Glass eyes, bronze hilt , silver plated figure on the propeller , plane blade, painted scabbard and a bronze ball held by the eagle�s claw.
As I told you before except for the engraved blade all other parts are well made and very close to the originals.
Regarding item 220218214025 I can�t say much without better and close up pictures but when I see officer daggers with plane blade this is red flag.
