THE SWEDISH PATRIOTIC SOCIETY FOR ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE ARTS, CRAFTS AND THE COUNTRY’S INDUSTRIES WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE MID 18th CENTURY. THE SOCIETY WAS GRANTED ITS ARTICLES AND THE PREFIX “ROYAL” BY KING GUSTAF III IN 1772. THE SOCIETY WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO ISSUE MEDALS IN 1802, AND CONFERRED THE RIGHT TO WEAR THE MEDALS TO THE RECIPIENT. THE SOCIETY WAS A FOCAL POINT FOR PERSONS OF PROMINENCE IN THE FIELDS OF GOVERNMENT, TRADE, SCIENCE, AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY, AND GAVE THE SOCIETY MEMBERS A VENUE TO DISCUSS NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND DISCOVERIES AND THEIR APPLICATION IN THEIR VARIOUS FIELDS. 1950, DEPICTED ON THE MEDAL’S OBVERSE, WAS THE OLDEST AND SECOND-LONGEST REIGNING MONARCH OF SWEDEN. A CONSERVATIVE, HE WAS THE LAST MONARCH TO BE SUPREME HEAD OF THE SWEDISH ARMED FORCES AND TO INTERVENE DIRECTLY IN THE POLITICS OF HIS NATION. ASCENDING TO THE THRONE IN 1907, HE REPLACED LIBERAL PRIME MINISTER KARL STAAF IN 1914. GUSTAF PLACED A FIGUREHEAD, HJALMAR HAMARSKÖLD IN THE POSITION WHO REMAINED IN PLACE THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. DURING WWI GUSTAF HELD A PRO-GERMAN ANTI-COMMUNIST STANCE, ALTHOUGH OFFICIALLY SWEDEN REMIANED NUETRAL. LIBERALS AND SOCIAL DEMOCRATS SUCCEDED IN FORMING A NEW GOVERNMENT IN 1917 UNDER NILS EDÉN, WHO STRIPPED THE KING OF HIS QUASI-ABSOLUTE POWERS, ENACTED EQUAL SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN, AND TRANSITIONED SWEDEN TO A PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY. THE ROYAL PREROGATIVES CONTINUED TO BE EXERCISED BY GUSTAF V, THE LAST SWEDISH MONARCH TO DO SO, AND THOSE POWERS WERE ULTIMATELY ABOLISHED BY PARLIAMENT IN 1974. GUSTAF WAS POPULAR THROUGHOUT HIS REIGN, AND CONCEDED TO THE PRINICPALS OF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AND TO BEING THE FIGUREHEAD OF THE COUNTRY. IN 1943, THE YEAR THIS MEDAL WAS AWARDED, SWEDEN WAS AGAIN NUETRAL IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR. ALTHOUGH GUSTAF URGED THE COALITION GOVERNMENT OF SWEDEN TO GIVE IN TO NAZI GERMANY’S LOGISTICS REQUESTS, HE APPARENTLY DID NOT SUPPORT FACISM OR THE NAZIS, AND TO REFUSE THEM WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY PROVOKED AN INVASION.

THE CONSIGNOR SAYS ALL THESE BADGES & DAGGERS, ETC. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE AN OFFER ON A PIECE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO. ARTIFACT: This is a rare Model 1932 Royal Hungarian Air Force officer dagger with a hanger. The dagger has its original gilt brass scabbard, which is attractively engraved to Major General Makray Sandor, one-time Military Attache to Germany. We know only some other limited information about Makray: his posts included Adjutant, Ministry of Defence, the Chief of 5th Section Troop Training, Group II Training Staff, and the General Staff Commanding Officer of the 2nd Mountain Brigade, Eastern Front. This possibly could have been a presentation dagger to Makray from the Air Force or a high-ranking friend in the Air Force, or he perhaps may have held an administrative role with the Air Force in the 1930s (pre-WWII). The blade is fairly bright and tapers to a sharp point. The eagle is gilt as opposed to silvered, perhaps to indicate a general officer. This dagger was made by Kozak Antal of Budapest and is numbered 669 above the maker mark upon the ricasso. The reverse of the guard has a small crest stamp. SIZE: Approximately 13-1/2 in length and 4-1/2 in width (at guard); blade only: 8-5/16 in length and 13/16 in width; scabbard only: approximately 9-5/8 in length and 1-1/16 in width; about 14-5/8 total length (while in scabbard); hanger hangs about 9-1/2 in length off dagger. CONSTRUCTION/MATERIALS: Steel blade, gilt brass, painted brass grip, gilt scabbard, nylon blend hanger material. ATTACHMENT: Hanger with buckles and clips, rings, release button. MARKINGS: Engraving to Makray Sandor on blade; 669 KOZAK ANTAL BUDAPEST on ricasso; crest stamp on reverse of guard. ITEM NOTES: This is from a Royal Hungarian Air Force weapons collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months.
