Hi Barry,
Don't know how I missed this.  Looks like a load of Victorian or later nonsense, everything is wrong. Might make a paper knife at a push. I am glad you didn't bid on it.Regards, Norman. |

Perhaps it was a theatrical dagger for the stage? I know they made such, loose- based on originals?

MY IMPRESIONS OF THE ITEM AGREE WITH THOSE STATED. IT WOULD MAKE AN ATTRACTIVE WALL HANGER OR PROP BUT IF THE FELLOW WHO BOUGHT IT WAS EXPECTING A REAL DAGGER I AM SURE HE WAS SORELY DISAPOINTED.
IF THERE WAS PROVENANCE OF IT BEING USED BY A FAMOUS ACTOR IN A VICTORIAN PLAY PERHAPS IT WOULD FIND VALUE IN THAT FIELD OF COLLECTING. THANKS FOR THE DISCUSSION WE CAN LEARN EVEN FROM AN ITEM LIKE THIS ONE.
