Georgian / Napoleonic Royal Navy Midshipman's
Fighting Dirk, Sold |
In good overall condition, a Napoleonic / Georgian British RN
midshipman's fighting dirk.
A Royal Naval midshipman's "fighting" dirk because of
the longer plain blade length (for a dirk) and the blade construction
(for strength).
The 15 inch blade is aged, has some rust spots and a steady patina
throughout for sure. Blade firm in ivory grip, the cross guard and
pommel wiggle (have some looseness).
A great piece and price, yours for £? (too late, now sold).
Please quote item reference P22 (0207). Further / full sized images
available upon request.
