Eastern European/Polish daggers dressed in bone
This group of knives was sold individually at a recent auction. The first one was described as "Eastern European," while the other three were described as Polish based on the national figures carved into the bone sheaths. Dressed entirely in bone hilts, guards, and sheaths, they are quite distinctive, and I'm sure some folks on this forum will have seen them before. The auction house described them as 18th C "nobility knives." Judging from the prices paid, they seem to be well sought after and desirable items to collect.
