I am grateful to Cornelistromp for posting this, I am keenly interested in this family of daggers with the eyeglass-shaped parry plate, and examples seem to be very rare. The 2 examples at the Met are familiar to me and have become a bit of a personal obsession, although I have not seen them in person. Absolutely beautiful pieces!
