Thats F Dick boys.
Just picked this up today, I believe it is a shop sample, overall its 18.5" long, weighs 4lb's, the blade alone is 12" long and 3" wide, it has an etched damascus blade, both small roses and a wild maiden hair type pattern, I cannot think it could be anything else other than a shop sample. Just so you can get an idea if the size I pictured it against a short DLV.

Stunning exemplar of a big DICK!  From the photographs the blade appears like true damast but you have it in hands and you have the experience so I am sure it is just a phenomenon caused by the photographs. Regards,

Kevin
The other side is just the same, no maker mark, I'm going on the arrow on the grip which is similar to F Dick.
Thanks to everybody.

That's an impressive piece Gary  I know this is right up your alley, big blade, damast & all, but I'm loving the DLV with personalization on the scabbard fitting, how about a shot of that one too?
