Hi Spaffo, we don't discuss prices open here at the forum! Read for this the forum rules. But it seems that you have done a good business!

Sorry about that. I will post when I've cleaned it up.

I cleaned it today. I didn't realize it had any brass parts. The knife is approximately 11" long with a 6.5" blade. Is this a child's or woman's knife?
I've learned so much in the short time I've been reading these forums. Thanks again.

That's a beautiful knife!

Hi Spaffo,
Yes, a great piece, very beautiful, uncommon and old.

Yes, a very nice dagger and I think somewhat rare, very nicely done!
