Hi James.
Perhaps something a bit more positive would be nice.
I do not see the value you place in this wrap as there are questions in my mind over the true age of the dirk. That makes the wrap an attractive add on. The same as putting original RLB hangers on a parts dagger.
So, please address the issue of the grip material and age. Also, why does it look like a late 19th century etch on a mid 19th century dirk.
You are a knowledgeable collector. I have no dog in this fight. So, if you have something positive to add. please let us hear it.
This dagger has better detail than the modern reproductions.
