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 fullered, clip-pointed nickel-plated steel blade is marked by the manufacturer. The steel scabbard is black-painted.

CONDITION
The knife is in good antique condition with small signs of age and wear. The extreme tip of the blade is broken and the leather strap of the scabbard is missing. The scabbard is most probably re-painted at some point. The grip scales seem to have original colour. The knife fits well in its scabbard.
