Unusual Bronze / Brass Dagger
2 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
Looking for some help ID'ing this dagger as I haven;t been able to find a similar example anywhere. Appears to be made of brass and it is 7.5" long. Thanks! Calum Attachment 222159 Attachment 222160 |
Is the blade a separate piece riveted to the handle or is it cast as one piece?
The fact that it looks like a one piece casting with fake rivets makes me suspect a modern fantasy piece. Or possibly someone's home casting of a dagger with a separate riveted steel blade. The pommel reminds me of Celtic 'antenna' swords but its more an inspired by look rather than a close match. Robert |
Reminds me of one of them 'Luristan' daggers.
Best wishes Richard |

I have one with a "Happy Birthday" inscription in German, dated 1944 in Antwerp. My guess is that it is a souvenir "letter opener" in the form of a miniature bronze-age Celtic sword.
|
so this is an object made in Antwerp ( Antwerpen is Antwerp in Dutch-Flemish) 16 April 1944 or celebrating an event which happened there.
|
there is one, an almost Identical one, which is for sale now on a Dutch second hand site (cannot post the pics per forum rules)
This demonstrates these Items are modern and frequent replicas found in Belgium and the Netherlands |
