The Dirk Development from the Ballock.
More Bollocks....
 It can be seen that the Ballock dagger gave rise to the Scottish Dirk as worn in the portrait by Painting below of George Gordon, 5th Duke of Gordon (1770–1836) in highland dress. The two lower pictures show Dirk development in the sketch and the photo shows Dirks.... Please see my main reference on this subject at ~ http://www.myarmoury.com/feature_spot_dirks.html for an excellent review of Ballock and Dirk daggers. Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
