I quite like these daggers, and have to agree with Spiral, they are quite rare. I think the one shown by Tim in this recent auction is right.

Although the chiselling on the scabbard pommel makes me think this particular example not as early as most. Hard to say without handling it. Could even be that the scabbard is later than the knife? Am I seeing right....or is the scabbard pommel Brass and the throat piece Silver? If that is the case, then the pommel is a later addition.

A nice thing, I would have liked to have bought it.
