Black Swiss Ceremonial Dagger M57 "Very Hard to Find and Rare"

The Swiss ceremonial dagger M57 is the high-quality, ceremonial version of the standard M1957 bayonet. Although it shares the same 24 cm long, double-edged "spearhead" blade and black ribbed grip, the "ceremonial" or "parade" versions distinguish themselves by their exceptional finish and specific attachment options.

Key identification features

• Finish: Unlike standard field bayonets, the ceremonial version typically features a high-gloss or black parkerized blade.
• Pommel design: Standard bayonets have a spring-loaded metal pommel (matching the grip material), and rare "specially made" M57 daggers have a black parkerized pommel and lack the rifle attachment points.
• Scabbard: For ceremonial use, these daggers are often paired with a high-quality white sling and a black scabbard.
