Can you help identify these knives /daggers/stilettos ?

Post by Rupertnz »

I have inherited these two knives/daggers/stilettos. I know they came from Europe and were WW2 war booty. Service was in Italy and Palestine.

Does anyone have any idea of age and country of origin and value.

Cheers

Shot in the dark here:
The top blade in a very rough Portuguese translation is “to eat”

The bottom blade again in a very rough Latin translation is “The mind made me”

Both translations could be wrong, but a quick research and what I remember of my Latin is what these came out to be.

Agree on the "made me" translation of mefecit. Can't really read the others. Neat pieces, good luck with them. J.O'.

Thanks for the responses. I have trawled the internet and have yet to find anything similar so definitely not mass produced!

Cheers
