Naval Officer's Dagger, Restoration Period

 These naval daggers, although banned by Emperor Napoleon, had been worn by officers throughout the imperial period. Logically, officers continued to wear daggers during the Restoration, but the weapons were decorated with attributes related to the new ideology. This is why we find on this dagger a beautiful decoration of Fleurs de Lys.
