Hello Alex_ here https://www.dorotheum.com/auktionen/aktu...ches-m1827.htmlyou have a finished auction of a "copy" (I always call those "copies" FAKES) of such a dagger. For me quite the same production. Navy daggers with an age of nearly 200 years commonly have another look... Regards,
wotan, gd.c-b#105
"Never look for sqare eggs" as a late owner of an original FHH-dagger used to say.

Excellent reference Wotan. I could not copy it here but Wotan's reference is for the identical dagger at auction as a reproduction.
So right from the reproduction to original via Ebay.
