Antique Japanese & World Weapons AUG. 29th
Lot 406:
Superb Quality Italian Large STILETTO Dagger of 17th C. Style. A massive Stiletto of exceptional quality, too well made to be a Victorian piece and there is a very good chance of being a period example, note the thick disked finials of the guard and a large disk pommel which are separate pieces mounted on to the steel guard and grip with incredible precision, the whole dagger appears to have been professionally polished to its original condition with some areas still showing traces of its original patina and evidence of great age. Mounted with a most powerful triangular blade with reinforced square section ricasso, top of the blade bearing a deeply struck maker’s mark. A truly outstanding Armor-piercing dagger of seldom encountered size and quality.Total Length (inside scabbard if present): 14 3/4" Blade Length: 10"
