Information about old dagger.
« on: March 16, 2015, 04:07:11 pm »
A few years ago I helped clean out the house of my great-grandparents. While cleaning I found an old dagger. I know very little about the history of my great-grandparents. I've always wondered what the origins of this dagger were. I am new to this forum so forgive me if the photo doesn't appear immediately with this post.

Very interesting Taylor.  What materials do you think the handle, sheesh, and blade are made of?  Can you take a picture of the blade?  Length and width?

Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.
