Description
This early 19th century American or British-made small fighting dirk is mounted with a rhomboid 12 cm. long blade. The turned grip is 8.5 cm. long, and has a couple of chips. The patina on the grip is beautiful. Without the scabbard or any meaningful decorations, it is difficult to ascertain the original intentions of this piece. It could've been a midshipman's dirk, or was concealed in a pocket of a concerned citizen.
