Hello Sajen,
I have removed the first mount and the inner scabbard is made of wood
Idem, in the hilt, under the velvet there is a wooden piece.

The small stones and pearls are well setted/made
Idem, I find the gold and silver damascenining quality made and show some age,
Just the pommel and the tip of the scabbard had been cleaned too much.
.
I have sanded and polished the blade, it was covered with some kind of wax to avoid rust so it looked too recent shiny and fake.
So it is a real damas blade don't know about the age but it is a real weapon ...

Fernando, can't we.put it.again in the european weapons forum ??
I saw 19th damas blade on french and german hunting daggers

I like.the wild boar head,
Don't think it is a coat of arms / family crest.

a deco for a '' royal'' main gauche hunting dagger 😅

[Marius66]

Thank you very much Fernando !!

I found a mix of similar parts but nothing exactly look like...

Hello Marius,

Really nice dagger !
The new pictures help a lot!
An high quality dagger certainly expensive but not old I guess,
For me made by a blacksmith in the second period of the 20th century.
PS: I'd like to get one like that

[Marius66]

I just want to add this picture,
The blade moves a little in the scabbard and the velvet is used/missing inside so I don't think all dagger and scabbard are so recent.

Looking for my monogramms and Kaiser Willhelm II,
I found this german royal gift dagger with damas blade.

If it hadn't such an amazing history,
we could think it is just a recent reproduction
