I was just watching Pawn Stars and got to wondering about a swagger stick I got from my dad whose dad brought it back from N. Africa in WWII. I never met my grandfather. He died when I was 10 and my dad and he did not get along. They last spoke at my folks' wedding three years before I was born. My dad knows nothing about it. I know his father brought back some other real trophies, but that they were pawned by my uncle to pay traffic tickets a good 40+ years ago. I hear one of those items was a Luger. Arrggghhhh.
Anyhoo, here are the photos. The hilt and sheath seem to be wood covered in a very thin leather. Blade is four sides and point is super sharp. The only marking I can decipher on it looks like some kind of symbol and then the letters "ARIA". What do I have here?
