Good day dear members,

Here is the scottish dirk I just get,
I think it can be 19th century with the bulbous hilt shape and finely made entrelacs and Nice patina.

The blade is well made too, especially the tip.

There is a scottish flag under the ( glass made I think ) cairngorm and written Alba as the seller said .
Badly reglued , maybe the pommel was differently made at the origin / without stone...

I have too this nice presentation dirk with silver mounts,
Circa 1940 , silver mounts... but entrelacs-details on the hilt are really less carefully made...

Any comments are welcomed

Kind regards

I agree that the cairngorm is glass (can see tiny bubbles and marks).


Interesting piece.

Hello,
Sorry I come back,
Own research...😅
This one per example looks like ( hilt shape...)
1830-1850.
