Collectors will immediately notice the absence of the finger guard on my HJ dagger. I looked in vain to find a model that was designed like this, then came to the conclusion that the finger guard must have been broken off, and the stub filed down so that the knife didn't look broken.
All other details of the dagger are accurate. There are fabric remnants inside the scabbard, the insignia "wiggles," and all other manufacturing details are accurate as well. The dagger is extremely worn, almost as if it had been buried or stored in a very moist place.

so maybe some other youngster's dagger had the same fate as mine. I picked this dagger up in 1980 for $20. Anyone know what it's worth today?
Thanks!
