I would like to have opinion about this dagger . It look like to be from the XVI Century but I 'm not expert in those weapons..
I seems it could be used as a tool to repair armor or flintlock because of the small hammer and a kind of screwdriver you could see each side from the guard. What do you think about this explanation ? I hope that somebody already seen similar dagger. Any comment will be welcome. Cerjak |

Hi Cerjak,
It seems to have began life as a rapier and been modified to a dagger. Interesting piece, I agree about the tool mod's on the guard. Almost like a modern survival knife! |

I've been thinking about the 'turnscrew' and 'hammer' and I wondered if it might be for maintaining a musket? It's a very interesting item. I am suprised there hasn't been more comments. Something of the rapier family. Google some images and you can see the various elements represented. I haven't found them all in one but there are so many variations. I'd guess some transitional rapier. Obviously your's had a knuckle bow. |

Hi Nando, There is a hole in the pommel which I can't see being for anything but a bar/knuckle-bow. The position is OK, not too low. |

Hi Jean Luc,
how are you ? happy 2013 !!! nice dagger with a broke sword 15th century blade remounted in period for a dagger with a ghotic guard (probably early 15th century) , the pommel is not of the same period but of sure from a 18th century small sword rapier . Nice dagger . Congratulation . Berber Dagger L. p.s: if my eyes are ok blade is marked with passau wolf ? |

![]() If there are in this paper 16 different Passau Wolf recordings ... why aren't there any more ? Looks like every smith had his own interpretation of the wolf ![]() |
