I think this item is a not very old piece. At least the blade is probably made from the blade of a French Lebel bajonet M 1916. Compare the added fotos please.

The dagger is either from 19th century historicism but more probably a genuine piece from 14th to 16th century in very well condition. If the dagger is real, it is an very extraordinary well preserved piece and pretty rare. Roland |

The blade looks to me to show signs of being older but a shortened blade coming from another source. Maybe a 19th C bayonet from something else? The guard and pommel look to be newer. Maybe some better pictures of ends of them?

Today it should not make great problems to get a rectangular base out of a round base by help of heat and high pressure. Sorry, but for me this dagger is a fake. corrado26 |
