Last week`s find was another high for me in collecting. I am still researching the crown over PV, but the hunter looks like Bavarian. Houston thinks it may also be English, but whatever it is, a beauty. The dagger has an ivory grip with the blade and hilt all made from one piece of medal. Note the tip of the blade turns down (not up) and represents the beak of an eagle with the eye surrounded with feathers. Took me two days to realize what this design was. The scabbard fittings are silver or German silver. All engraving is very high quality and I would put the date somewhere around the middle 1800. Sorry for the less than good picture, but hope you enjoy. James
