Can you believe that they even managed to make the eagle on the pommel look like Mussolini?

If anyone has been to the pre-WW2 sports arena in Rome (near Ponte Milvio), which is lined with statues of various buffed athletes in heroic poses, you might remember that most of them have Il Duce's head stuck on the body(!).

Yup, like Hitler, Il Duce was a humble man.

Agreed and guaranteed , Italian and fascist dagger , like the others mentioned already.
Still I have to mention that this is quite avant-gardistic design for those years , Italians have always got the fashion one step ahead. Look at the handle, so Art Nouveau / Gotham City , dont you think ?
