Hi,
Here is a small dagger in Spanish Colonial style with nickel silver fittings. Leather scabbard with nice tooling. The leather cord that holds the dagger on when it is worn is wrapped around the scabbard. The blade is double beveled on one side only flat on the other. Grip is horn with two twisted silver wires in one wide groove (for some reason they look crossed in the pictures but are actually side by side) and a single strand wire in another groove. Comments are welcome.

Blade length 6-5/8"
Width 3/4"
Thickness 3/16"
Hilt length 3-7/8"
