Hi Gene, thank you for comment. I don't know why it was given such a prominence for the date but it seems that it was very usual by this time to date the scabbard since I have a second example from the same time where the date have a similar dating on but here in down of the scabbard.

This last one is more my favorite - the quality of silver work is better.

On the scabbard of my one there is the date, but also some writings I can't read. Any help is welcome.

yes of course, the quality of the silver work is much better and also the grip from hippo ivory. This is the best example in my collection. But the new one isn't bad and i love this little daggers and they look much better in a small group than a lonely one! Regards, Detlef |
