I believe the dirk is Naval
Hi Guys
As I mentioned previously the royal Naval lodge was founded in 1739. Having discussed this dirk at length with a Naval collector he reassured me that it is Naval but would have belonged to an officer who was also a member of the Naval lodge in the Georgian period.
The Guard has the typical English lion hilt common to many Naval dirks and an English rose on the cross guard.
Regards
Cathey and Rex
