Antique Japanese & World Weapons AUG. 29th
Lot 365:
Scarce and Early, 19th C. Russian Imperial Navy Officer’s Dirk ~ Naval Dagger. An unusual early example of very elegant slander built, in its brass mounts and an unusual black wood grip which appears to be native to the dirk. Mounted with a vicious and deadly cruciform section blade, which would inflict and non-healing wound to its opponent, both sides of the blade with deeply etched decorations of battle ships, anchors and other military and floral motives. Very unusual Russian dirk of petite proportions but of much better than average quality in its younger years. Total Length (inside scabbard if present): 12 1/4" Blade Length: 8 1/2"
