13643) Air Force Rare Chinese National CBI Knife DressDagger Officers WWII Military. Original Rare Chinese National CBI Knife Dress Dagger Officers WW II Military. This is a Rare Chinese National WW II Knife. I call this a dress Officers Knife because of its overall Length. This is overall just over 10 ¾ inches without the scabbard. This has a coating of lacquer that was put on by Lt. Macgibbon. This lacquer comes off without a problem. This was given to the Lieutenant by a Chinese Officer during WW II. We are not sure of the Lt Macgibbons exact roll. We know he was a pilot and was in the CBI theater of War but we have not researched this. The Knife has the typical Parrot type head on the pommel with 2 red eyes. The eyes are nice never messed with. This has wire wrapped grip with what appears to be what I believe is turtle shell. The cross guard has a flying what looks like the same Parrot or could be an Eagle. There is a Chinese character just above the cross guard. This has a 6 ¾ quarter original length blade. The blade has some surface corrosion and tarnish. The scabbard has some spots this is lacquer. Lt Macgibbons lived on the bay here in Florida and put this on the few knifes he had so they would not corrode in the salt air. The tag was put on by him also. This has not been cleaned in any way so will look a lot nicer when done.
