Hello I need a little help with identification of this dagger, that I think is possible made in Caino the mark on blade looks like the mark of Matinni Antanni active in Caino in 1550. Thank you in advance

Another for the EU forum.

I suspect German at face value.

Yes, European in style. Over it goes.

Cotoroanta, this incredible barrage

of some of the most fascinating daggers I have seen in such a large group suggests you are someone well versed in the collecting of these....clearly far from a novice by the character of these examples.

Perhaps you might share more of your own expertise and observations on the individual items to set the pace for ongoing discussion?
These are remarkable, and as someone who is not particularly knowledgeable on daggers per se', I find it exciting to learn from these and am most grateful for your open sharing of them here, thank you!
