Hello.
I have not posted in a while though I have been adding to the collection and I will post some pictures for your perusal in the appropriate forum.
This dagger had been seen 15 years ago in a collection, at that time the owner did not want to part with it. He was hoping his son would take up the hobby. The son did not. So my friend was passing and on the off chance popped in to say hello. He offered the owner a good price, the guy was really surprised at how much the value had increased and after a day or two of thought passed it on to my dealer friend. In a nut shell I saw it and bought it.
This has all silver fittings and still retains some of the original lacquer.The blade is plated and untouched. It has never been apart from what I can see.
I post it here for your opinions. This is the first of this type I have owned. Any comments will be appreciated especially on the type of cross guard and ferrule.
