Hi Dirk,
yes found in the Netherlands, exact location is unknown to me.
The reason I think the grip is redone is because all ballock daggers have a grip made outof one piece of wood.
when you see the grain at your dagger, the protrusions are glued to the handle.
further, the protrusions are not ball-shaped and the recess in the brass parry rod does not fit exactly appropriate the wooden grip between the balls. at your dagger the recess is smaller.
please compare other Ballock daggers for this.
The wood used here is also unusual for a ballock.
best,
Jasper
