I believe the Coat of Arms of the Netherlands contains a crowned lion wielding a sword; a symbol of the monarch. The other hand should be grasping a bunch of arrows. This is difficult to distinguish on this dirk.
Perhaps in this case the fact that the lion is leaning on an anchor merely indicates a naval connection rather than being an integral part of the coat of arms and it is simply, as originally thought, a dutch naval dirk. Best wishes Richard |
