A reminder goes for the dimensions of this dagger. With a 20 cms. length and a 10,5 cms. blade is hardly one to go around hanging on an uniform belt or less for naval purposes.
It is a fact that the French fancied these things, to the point that they had a few names for them; besides the mentioned 'dague de pute', they also called them 'romantic', 'dague de jarretires' (garther daggers), 'dagues de petite virtu' (virtue); and even suggestive 'pique couilles' (balls stinger); all connected with the same kind of users and ambiance. Here is a couple examples with characteristics similar to the one posted. . Last edited by fernando; 10th November 2014 at 07:39 PM. |
