    I want to make a thread about polish dress dagger.I will show my collection of daggers which I have or have had in collection.please feel free to add advice and correct my posts, maybe we can make a short manual about daggers worn in during Second Republic.
    First dagger which I want to show is model 1920 it was side arms of the officers and clerks of the Polish Navy.This dagger was adopted from Austro Hungarian model for the Navy.It was only one dagger worn with portopee.Ive got one in my collection unfortunatelly I think it is the best copy because copies of this model were made from 70 on Hungary and nowadays hard to say which is originall whic copy.First bad sign is a gilded crest on the blade originally wasnt gilded.Im posting pic of Yugo dagger with portopee and hanger which shows style of worn these type of dagger.Polish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordzikiPolish dress dagger pre ww2 called kordziki

    yours does look like a copy in my opinion especially wit the lack of detail in the casting.
    i remember seeing those daggers in stores in poland in 1980s.

    I think a thread about daggers with a manual or history is a great idea. I didn't know that the Polish military even had daggers.

    yes, they did - my favourite as the air force ones.

    Here is some repros - Galerie - Kategoria: Bro

    yes, i know that many fakes are well made, but unless they are made by craftsman.
    common copies sold in stores lacked the detail and were mostly representative of the piece.
    some repro swords made in 1980s aged well look very well to people who never saw or handled the original

    zet, excellent thread you've started. Thanks for the good high resolution pictures. I look forward to seeing more of your collection.

    Here's an English language summary of dagger use in pre-WW2 Poland. Taken from "Kordziki w II Rzeczypospolitej" (Daggers in the Polish 2nd Republic) by Leszek Zachuta.
