That blade looks plenty serious...the handle is a bit toy-like though.

The blade is very serious. The chap selling it said it was taken from an Italian officer in ww2

He was one of the death priests I imagine, that became an officer in the army?

Looks like some kind of antique souvenir of Venice.

Isn't the handle the winged lion of St. Mark a Venice landmark ?
