Great Find TVV!!!!!
Thank you verry much!
The daggers looks verry similar indeed. It seems quite bigger than mine from what I can tell from the photo.
No, as I said before I'm excluding it to be a forgery. My friend found it in the ground and gave it to me for free. I'm 100% certain about that. To the antique origin of this blade I can add the fact that thoose ornaments are gold (tested).
It is quite impressive however that two almost identical weapons existed on such a vast space. If I weren't absolutely certain that the dagger in my possesion is orginal I would also claim that it is a repro...
However, the evidence is breathtaking.
The possibility of such extensive use in the past is almost fantasientific, and beyond that, practically the same condition of the two daggers.
I really do not know whta to say.
That's a mysteriy.
Do you know that guy, TVV? Is there any remote possibilty to gather further info about that dagger?
