Hi gents,

Can you please help me to identify this WW2 Chinese dagger or short sword?

Ray skin handle, the pommel is made in the form of a lion. Overall length - 46.3 cm (18.25''), dagger length - 41 cm (16.2''), blade length - 30 cm (11.75'').

Thanks in advance

Alex

Welcome aboard

I could be mistaken but the survey says````````````````..............

A modern reproduction or "attempt" of a Chinese WWII air force officer dagger. The army nationalist daggers are widely reproduced as well and differentiate a good deal from the air force daggers. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the WWII Chinese military daggers circulating are false.

Thanks!

This is not the Chinese Air Force dagger replica. The similar dagger is pictured in the book "Chinese military daggers" as an "Unidentified dagger" . Also, the similar dagger with Damascus blade is offered for sale HERE

I believe this is Chinese Nationalist General's Presentation dagger or the Lion Honor Presentation dagger, but I could be wrong 😊

The unknown daggers, imo, false.
