No idea, but it is a beautiful piece! Congratulations! :)

pretty, my thoughts as i scrolled down was also italian, or at least mediterranian. (due to the the putto (cherub) face and the lion on the ricasso, a common motif.)

...also could be sardinian. seen a couple of sardianian daggers in that form with lions on the ricasso.

Why does something in the ricasso keeps me seeing some similarity with my Southern Italy hunting dagger ? I am becoming short sighted :shrug: .

Here's mine.

No idea where its from. Any reference I've seen just calls all of these forms "Meditteranean Dirk". Got another much earlier one that is single edged, fits into the same classification
