World War II Chinese Air Force Officer's Dagger, also worn by pilots. Earliest know example is dated 1936 and used throughout World War II. Many were presented to American and other foreign pilots as presentation gifts by the Chinese Air Force for service to their country. These came in varying sizes and lengths, grip colors and materials. Examples have been found in brass, nickel, silver and bronze. They also came with both a brown leather hanger and a black leather hanger depending on the belt worn by the officer. Occasionally, one is encountered with a dedication in the Chinese Language, as well as specimens carrying various Chinese mottos in four chinese characters. Grips have been found in white, yellow, red, green coral, jade, black, purple, leather, rayskin, serpent, sharkskin and both plain and with designs. Also, many come with a variety of markings on the blade, scabbard and upper and lower brass fittings. No two are exactly the same. - courtesy of Rudy D'Angelo
