Hello:

I just picked this up. Blade is 13.25 inches, overall 20 inches, nice wire grip and fleur de lis pommel. Overall weight is 1.43 pounds. Unfortunately, some prior owner heavily polished the blade, but some etching still remains.

I also tried to take a close up picture of the brass.

Etching ?
Hard to belive there was any etching from begining
But thats a guess do not know this dagger type , but someone might now ?

Regards
Pär

The blade seems to be nickel plated or chromed and what you think to be etching is corrosion which comes through.

here is another picture of the wire grip at the collar. The wire is tucked under the collar.
