"Described as "18th–19th C Spanish or Philippines Naval Dirk"" Jumping back to Post 1. And obviously ignoring the intricate handle, but it does have a slight resemblance to the 1833 French government issue of the Naval dagger (Poignard de Marine), although this had a triangular section blade. This may explain the above description connecting it to a 'Naval Dirk'. I have never seen reference to a Spanish or Philippine version. It was part of the Systeme 1833 suite of weapons and came with a leather or metal triangular sheath. |
