			pretty, my thoughts as i scrolled down was also italian, or at least mediterranian. (due to the the putto (cherub) face and the lion on the ricasso, a common motif.)

			Why does something in the ricasso keeps me seeing some similarity with my Southern Italy hunting dagger ? I am becoming short sighted

			Here's mine. 
		
		
		
			No idea where its from. Any reference I've seen just calls all of these forms "Meditteranean Dirk". Got another much earlier one that is single edged, fits into the same classification  |
