			Hi All 
		
		
		
			This arrived the other day   a small gunong or punal aluminum fittings 1945-50 I think the blade is laminated but I have not etched it yet. When I cleaned it with 600 grit sand paper and warm water I saw the pattern emerging. Lew  |

			Hi Lew, 
		
		
		
			Very nice dagger you have there. I've always wondered when these were made. Here's another one with aluminum fittings and probable the same time frame. I haven't checked the blade one this one yet. If you are interested in it I'm always open for a trade.    Robert  |
