The fittings have gold varnish characteristic of the late issues. This interesting piece is from the period when the Soviet Navy, still seemingly strong, was already starting to feel the effects of the USSR's economic decline. It would spiral down over the next few years, never to return to its Cold War glory. The number of active-duty sailors would soon be drastically reduced, and so would the number of daggers produced for the Soviet naval officers.

In outstanding, near mint condition - scarcely ever used or possibly an unissued example. The scabbard leather has just a few very mild indentations from storage, otherwise perfect: free of any scuffs, scratches or other wear, and retaining a beautiful, healthy gloss. The varnish on the brass parts is bright and virtually pristine, having only some tiny oxidation spots on the cross guard. The brilliant blade is flawless, free of even the slightest in and out wear. This piece is impossible to upgrade; condition-wise, it is among the best Soviet daggers we've ever handled.
