Congrats. I unfortunaqtely missed this auction! Here two fotos of similar Albacete daggers of the end of 18th century with very similar grips. The doghead might be a special order of the former owner.

Thank you for comment! Yes, all on this Type A punal is typical, only the dog head and the missing brass bolsters are untypical. But it never has had this brass bolsters. I think this type of Albacete daggers are from end of the 19th century.

Regards,
Detlef

Yes, rather typical 19c Spanish hunting knife. The dog pommel is the only atypical thing.

Very nice dagger, and because of the pommel, very original!
