Hi, welcome to the forum.
What an excelent stilleto.It should have quite some age, judging by its pommel ... and not only.
Could it be that the monogram and number belonged to a military, although the plate wasn't not necessarily applied at the dagger's origin? like a second owner ?
But i might just be talking nonsense. Let's see what the experts tell about it.
I wouln't be surprised to learn that the serrated part works like a touchole cleaning "screw".
