Re: Need help identifying a Italian Mini dagger
Welcome to AAPK! The knife you have appears to be an Imperial small fishtail jack or bowtie as some call it.They were made in a couple of sizes.Not sure of the availability prior to WWII but they were very popular post war. Collector wise they aren't exceptionally valuable but as a family keepsake they are priceless. Thanks for showing it.
