Thanks Lew,
Could you tell me the specific points to look for in an old knife of this type ??
I really do want to give some of these knives a good home and I'd like to be able to tell my Great Grand Children just what they are inheriting

Thanks Again,

Patina overall quality,scabbard constuction/style and materials. Below are a grouping from my collection. Second from left,center and second from right are 1930s-40s. 19th century daggers usually have heavier better quality silver or some have small coins (PIASTRES) at the end of the pommel. Also many old ones are marked with a date most from 1890-1900.

Thanks Lew for sharing some of your collection with us.

Those are some awesome knives, almost drooled on my keyboard looking at them................
I'll be looking to acquire some more of these knives as long as my play money holds out.
