TOTAL NUMBER OF KNIVES :  1

MAKER :   Unknown

PATTERN :   Engraved Dagger and Sheath

LENGTH :   Blade length is almost 8½ inches and the OAL is 12½ inches.

HANDLE :   Wood and there are no handle problems.

TANG STAMPS :   None

CONDITION :   Stained and patinaed but blade is full.  Check it out in the photos.

DAMAGE :   Just about what you would expect on a very old knife.

BOX:   None

AGE :   Best guess is from the early 1800s.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN :   Not completely sure but Japan is my best guess.  On the engraving is a lot I don't understand but there are a couple of flowers and I suspect they represent chrysanthemums, which are typical on Japanese knives.

BLADE WEAR :   None

SHIELD AND BLADE ETCH :   There is no shield and the blade is engraved on both sides and at one time it was gilded. Some of the gold still shows.  This is a sizeable engraving and I can best describe it as floral. Just towards the point and in front of the floral engraving is the image of a mean looking dog after a mean looking boar.

ADDITIONAL INFO :     I will deliver this knife to you in the USA by USPS for $75.00 and I pay the shipping cost in the USA.

In purchasing, you attest that you are of legal age and can legally possess this knife.
