Hi, Is this an actual Zirah Bouk of the period or an early item for the British & European tourist trade? I asked and found that the blade at the hilt was under an 1/8 in. It hardly seems functional. Were these daggers made for dress and or tourists? The workmanship at times seems to make them a potential collectors sub category. Your thoughts?? Regards and Merry Christmas, Steve
