Nice old knife: English Renaissance (?)

7 Attachment(s)

This rather nice knife sold recently at auction. It was described as an "English Renaissance Engraved Marriage Knife and Sheath." Possibly 16th-17th C.

Overall length = 18 in.

Interested to hear your thoughts on this one.

Hi Ian,

It's an very nice Ligurian dagger, nothing English on it! :D By the description from the auction house you can see again that they know sometimes next to nothing about what they are selling! :D:D

Regards,
Detlef

Thanks Detlef. I did not think it was English but had not seen another like it.

You're welcome Ian! It's the most frivolous I've ever seen! :D:D;)
