Gibberish New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 5:10 pm Picked up a dagger. 1 end, the hilt, is an Italian/German Nazi service medal The other is this thing that looks to me to be a coin. Limited on what can see, so sorry LMK if it is and what it is if you know. I think the entire hilt is made of these coins and because I know people are always curious, here is the pommel Report this Post to the Staff

Gibberish New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 6:06 pm BTW Thank you for the cojn info As I used a loup and light I can see the underside of the coin at the guard has been filed off except for a small point. Several layers up I can see more of the filigree from the coin on another. I think they were all once the 1 frank coins I am on a knife forum now to determine whatever I can about it. I think 2 medals were used to make the bronze rings, knowing what the hilt is. The blue APPEARS to be wrapped but it is hard. No idea what the white is. I think this is like a form of European tramp art to be honest. A blade existed and someone improvised or got created and made the hilt/grip. The scabbard is too large at the guard end so I think the blade that was in it before this was much larger or even a sword. The bronze belt catch has been soldered on...AND unless I miss my guess, the skin covering it is from a monitor lizard. Report this Post to the Staff
