Unusual Bronze / Brass Dagger

[stilgar]

Hi All,

Looking for some help ID'ing this dagger as I haven;t been able to find a similar example anywhere.

Appears to be made of brass and it is 7.5" long.

Thanks!

Is the blade a separate piece riveted to the handle or is it cast as one piece?
The fact that it looks like a one piece casting with fake rivets makes me suspect a modern fantasy piece. Or possibly someone's home casting of a dagger with a separate riveted steel blade.
The pommel reminds me of Celtic 'antenna' swords but its more an inspired by look rather than a close match.

Reminds me of one of them 'Luristan' daggers.
Best wishes

I'm with Robert - probably modern and possibly antenna-inspired...

Yeah it seems like it was cast in one piece but made to look like the blade is rivetted to the handle so I think it must be a replica or fantasy piece.

Thanks all for the help!
