Hi Gents,
Just acquired this dagger (to be able to close a deal on the item I really wanted). Don't know anything about it but I still had a halloweeny feeling.
Can you guys tell me more about it? Where, when it was made, what it might be worth??
Thanks in advance, Peter Jan

Not sure how legit it is, but the blade etching seems to be an attempt to suggest Masonic origin. By that I mean, some symbols (trowel & compass) are Masonic marking mainstays, but the others appear random. The skull and phrase is also Masonic, but not limited to the fraternity. Be it original or a parts configuration, it's cool none the less!
