Hi gents,

What do you think about this British Midshipman dirk that on EBay now:

BRITISH ROYAL NAVY DRESS DIRK

Seller is uncertain of originality.

Thanks,

The seller uncertain of originality, because it is a repro.

I am quite sure, but let's wait for other opinions.

Thanks Janos!

When dealing with British edged weapons, leather equals modern reproduction. Same as Japanese daggers and swords. Leather grip means reproduction.

And it does not matter who sells them or how good their reputation is.

Thanks Jim, good to know.

There are many reproductions of these daggers
