Imperial Russian Dagger.

[Aharim]

I saw one of those about 13 - 15 years ago. Set up was the same george in/on handle, Ann on plate on side. I do not remember a date on the back of the plate but there was an inscription on the blade rather than frou-frou. Inscripion included date of March 1916. Date on reverse of plate for the dagger here appears to be 1916. Dual award is rare. *if real* afterall when was the last one I saw? For that other one, doing research I found there was a series of engagements in the black sea in March 1916 for which daggers would/could have been awarded but it would have been nearly impossible to confirm exactly which one that dagger represented. So, regretably, I didn't take it.
