Would you Gentlemen help me with the age and provenance of this dagger ?
... And, of course, your thoughts about its authenticity, as per pictures. There is not tape where i am but, it should have some 45 cms. full length. I would be much obliged. . |

Seemingly so pristine, I hope it isn't a Victorian copy...........

I think it is likely 19th C or newer. The lines just look too perfect to me. The base of the pommel appears to be a perfect circle that would only be achieved with more modern equipment.
