This vintage dagger features an ornate metal handle and a matching scabbard, adorned with intricate floral and figural motifs. The scabbard is accented with a central panel of red velvet, intricately woven with metal cording. The blade is inscribed with the Greek word "ΕΛΛΑΣ" (Hellas), indicating a Greek origin for this decorative piece.

Condition

The dagger and scabbard exhibit significant signs of age and wear. The metal components show heavy tarnishing, discoloration, and areas of surface oxidation. The red velvet inlay on the scabbard is faded and shows minor wear. The blade has surface scratches, pitting, and areas of dark residue, consistent with age and previous handling. There is a chain connecting the dagger handle to the scabbard, which appears intact.
