Hello just bought this at ebay.

Thought was Spanish?

Does anybody knows about origin?

Thanks

Looks like a mid-19thc English naval dirk to me.

British naval dirk it is! Nice piece!

What makes this a British naval dirk? A recurved guard?

This is a civilian mid-19th century English-style 'bowie-like' dirk, imho...
