Manufactured c. 19th century, this is a very attractive, unmarked belt dagger with silver mountings. It measures 12 3/4 inches overall with an 8 5/8 inch spearpoint blade with a deep fuller on each side running about half the length. The oval-shaped guard is of silver and has a bolster below it. It is fitted with smooth, dark horn grip scales (possibly buffalo) with an oval plate on each side and straps down the length of the top and bottom, all of silver. It also has a silver pommel with a small ball-shaped finial. There are small silver tacks/studs on all the previously mentioned silver components for decoration. Includes a leather sheath with German silver throat fitting originally made for a different knife with a clipped point blade.

Fine, the blade mostly a grey patina with some scattered patches of light surface spotting and oxidation. The silver shows an attractively aged patina overall with two tacks/studs absent from the guard. The horn grips are good with some hairline age cracks and light chips near the plates. Overall an attractive belt dagger!
