Hello Bob,

like said, it's not the area of my passion but by look to the blade, it's thickness, the ricosso and the polished areas from deeper pittings let me suppose to see an old and fairly well worked blade by this dagger.
But also asked for better pictures, difficult to see by the first provided pictures. And there for sure a lot of fakes and new items on the market.
