What do you think about this dagger? Obviously airforce, but other than that I don't know nothing. Is it Romanian, what period, what would be a fair price for it?

It looks like a Romanian Dagger. Possibly for an Air Force cadet of the 1920's-1930 period.

With all the respect for the opinion of Regal Uniform Colector , I doubt is Romanian dagger from 1920-1930 , and also as a cadet dagger. The cadet daggers were much smaller. This dagger I think is rather Yugoslavian then Romanian. I will post some photos as an argument for that. Regards.

The scabbard and the dagger......they don't match together!!!! The scabbard is romanian but the dagger is,maybe, yugoslavian like Aviatiadasenzatia said.

You could be right as the color of the brass on the dagger is a different color then what is on the scabbard. It appears that the brass parts on the dagger has more copper in the metal mixture creating a pinkish look and the scabbard is more of a yellow gold brass color. Also, one needs to see if the dagger is a tight fit to the scabbard or if it is a loose fit. An incorrectly fitting scabbard would suggest that it has been replaced. I also noticed that the size of the guard where it butts up to the scabbard are of different measurements also suggesting a replacement scabbard. [SIZE=7]SORRY BOON.
