    I think the 7" blade is a bit short for a dirk and I believe that a dagger, being twin bladed, would be out of context as such. You have a fine piece of history there, I would leave it and value it just as it is.

    I agree with that. And all honor to your father!!

    (BTW, my own dad moved into a "retirement community" with my mom a year or so ago in Colorado; actually I'd call it a "retirement resort". He's of the same generation, a survivor of both Saipan and Iwo Jima. I began to follow in his footsteps by enlisting in the Corps; but after that enlistment I fell to the Dark Side and got a commission in the army.)
