Good 17th-18th C. Spanish or Italian MAIN GAUGE Dagger with Family Crest on the Guard. Very nice early example of a left hand parrying dagger with its traditional large sail guard with intricately embossed family crest and a very long cross-guard with chiseled ends. Mounted with a large and sturdy double-edged blade, typically broadened at the ricasso area. An interesting and early piece of weapon usually accompanying the rapier sword. Most likely Spanish or Italian in origin. Overall length: 21". Blade length: 14 3/4"
