Brass Hilt Dirk

I recently purchased this all brass hilt dirk from an 80 year old individual who stated that it was part of her uncle's collection.

Having handled a number of 18th century/early 19th century brass pieces, this hilt seems to have the correct age/patina and lack of uniformity from modern brass. Has a nice weight as well.

Appears to be a sword blade with double fullers, perhaps a maker's mark

blade is slightly under 12.5 inches
hilt is 4.5 inches with pommel nut
17 inches overall
blade is 1.25 inches wide.
