Italian Dagger Restoration a HOLY GRAIL from World War 1
Restoration of A REAL Italian Arditi trench dagger from WW1. For me, it is one of THE HOLY GRAILS. It is VERY uncommon to find a knife from 1915 in such a beautiful condition. See me restore this knife with respect.
ABOUT THE WW1 TRENCH DAGGER
I got this dagger donated by one of my Italian subscribers who have seen some of my other World War restorations videos. He told me that this is a Piemonte National Guard knife from around the mid-1800 that was shortened down to be effective in the trenches during the battle of WW1.
So this dagger most likely belonged to an Italian “Arditi” from the Royal Italian Army elite special force of World War I. They were the first modern storm troops and have been defined as "the most feared corps by opposing armies". Italy fought as allies with Serbia, Russia, France, Britain, and the United States against Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire who formed the Central Powers together. For me, it feels like I’ve been given the holy grail. Thank you so much
