Could you help me identify this knife?

[antiqueblade]

I've been told a thing or two about this knife - told it was extremely valuable but would like a second opinion.

1. Do you know it's history?
2. Do you have your own estimate of what it's worth?


Thanks!

EDIT :
Sorry no pictures from open auctions either . Save them and discuss after the auction closes .

We do not discuss live auctions here.

We also do not offer opinions of value .
Please read the FAQ .

I honestly didn't see anything in the FAQs about value or open auctions. Respectfully, what's with all the rules? :)

Give it one more try .
