FINNISH M/1922 ‘GALLEN-KALLELA’ DRESS KNIFE

DESCRIPTION
An antique Finnish M/1922 NCO military dress knife designed by the famous Akseli Gallen-Kallela and manufactured by Hackman Finland, approximately in the 1920s. The nickeled steel handle is fitted with chequered black-painted wooden grip scales, typical for the NCO model. The unfullered, clip-pointed nickel-plated steel blade is marked by the manufacturer. The black-painted steel scabbard comes with a leather belt strap.

CONDITION
The knife is in used antique condition with some signs of age, wear and small restorations. The black colour of the grip scales and the scabbard seem to be re-painted once. The upper part of the leather belt strap (black one) is a later replacement. The blade has some dark pitting and the scabbard paint is partly worn off. The knife fits well in its scabbard.
