Hi, this is a recent addition to my collection, could anyone tell me the approximate date of manufacture, I believe it is a model 1952 but I understand that they were modified at a later date. The number is 26357.

This would be fairly late construction.
The total production of Army Air Force Daggers was about 32,000. I would guess production in the 80,s.
The change you are speaking of is going from silver plate to nickle plate which is what you have.
All in all a nice collectable piece.
