My opinion , for what it's worth , is that this is a fairly modern made 'flamboyant' blade which has been married to an old French style bread knife handle . The 'guard' may well be from a brass cartridge case .... in order to give it the look of a theatre made trench dagger of WW1 period . A few years ago a friend of mine bought a similar blade from a Scottish firm and made me the following dagger ... a well made and convincing piece but I know its only 5 years old !
