Mussolinis dagger

You should post this in Bernard Levine's forum, I would like to hear what he has to say about it.
 
I doubt it was Mussolini's own, it's a fascist party officer dagger could be MVSN (commonly referred as Milizia the party police) or Camicie Nere (the party parallel army)

I agree with this. The only "provenance" this knife has is a hand me down hearsay story with no corroboration, and no independent evidence that such a knife was ever carried by Mussolini.

The current owner talks a good game, but at the end of the day he's just looking to cash in on an extremely dubious tale that cannot be proven or disproven - it's just a story.

The Monarchist “Blue Party” has its genesis in the Nationalist Party which was organized in Florence in 1910, .... By 1921, the Nationalist Movement was accepted by Mussolini as a “parallel movement” in a common struggle. After the march on Rome, the Fascists having adopted all the tenets of Nationalism, the two parties merged.
