Albacete dagger arrived today.
A nice surprise waiting at home when I got back this evening. Most are the dealers pics except the two in my hand.
With what looks to be the original scabbard. I thought this was card, covered with textile and brass, but I now think likely thin wood lath covered with same. |

Nice dagger David ... and so is the genuine looking scabbard.
Better pictures will confirm. |

Nice example
Very nice dagger David. Good clean blade, typical hilt and thin guard. It lacks the small cut out area with copper insert on the blade, but nevertheless a very neat version of a 19th C Albaceta knife. Plus an original sheath.

Yes, a very nice example with original scabbard. Congrats David but be careful, they are addictive! My examples.
PS: Is there a damage at the handle? Regards, Detlef |

Yes there is damage, some of the "inlay" has fallen off, on the other hand it has its scabbard and the price was attractive.
