Collecting Soviet Dirks - Considerations?
#8
I have collected daggers a while, and there are some points to be aware of.

Unless you have 100% faith in the seller, stay away from embellished daggers and socalled admirals daggers. Most of these are fake or altered originals.

I also (on a personal choice) stay away from all daggers marked from the maker BULAT as most of these are made for the souvenir marked post 1991. Dagger production after the 1970's was very limited, so to be "safe" stick to daggers dated 1958 or earlier...

Also daggers engraved on the blade with CCCP or a cyrillic C in front of a number are souvenirs and not issued daggers.
