Description

Historical context
:
THE SWISS DAGGER 1943 model :
the adoption of this dagger bears witness to an evolution in military mentalities that began during the First World War. It seemed interesting to us to evoke this period which saw the saber fall into disuse before presenting the dagger model 43. From saber to dagger In many fields, we can consider that the nineteenth century ended in August 1914 and not December 31, 1899. The technological and sociological consequences of the conflict began to be felt from the first years of the war by the most attentive social observers "). The superb ceremonial dagger with which the officers and senior non-commissioned officers of the Swiss army have been equipped since 1943 will soon be abandoned. The saber which was until the First World War the prerogative of the officer in the armies, just like the sword had been that of the nobility under the old r egime is definitely abandoned as a combat weapon. To assault, the officers of the troops are not long in preferring the pistol or the lead rod.
