Thanks for all opinions, I appreciate them very much.
The blade could be Asian origin, I dont know.
All I can say is that the blade is not just intended as a wallhanger, because it shows traces of wear and was resharpened at least one time. I think it might be a skinning knife.
The pommel is neither screwed nor glued to the hilt, it is riveted and covered with silver.
Maybe the seller made a mistake in the description. I bought two daggers from an inheritance from him. He sold me this dagger as a Sheffield dagger and a true marked wonderful Sheffield Bestsilversteel-dagger as American dagger.
Thats all I know.
Regards,
Roland
