Scottish Dirk Trousse

Beautiful piece! As Russel states, Scottish and from a trousse. I particularly like the pewter scabbard throat and decoration. The hilt is European stag. I'd date it to mid-19th based on the notched/ridged blade. This design started appearing on bowie knife blades from the mid-19th...

Thank you for that information, I guess the only thing we know date wise is that the fellow who started the collection died about 1870. Some of his treasures have no paperwork of any kind, its a very wild place.
