Yes, please do. It appears early, at least mid-19th and the simple cross guard as noted is similar to naval dirks. The stacked guard has washer-type 'disks' of material, probably leather or possibly gutta percha, to form the grip. It is also possible the grip was a replacement? We'll now more with better pics. She's a monster dirk at 18+ inches!
