hi guys
Did you guys ever seen something like this.
It's a hunting dagger or probably cut down short sword.
My friend pulled out from burned house.
So first pictures show how it looks before and after I clean up.
The fittings are silver,but the grip is metal with the leaves design.
The detail is unbelievable

Looks to have Real Age to it, 1700's maybe with the style of the Beaters shown on the cross guard.

Sad it got burnt, what's the tip look like?

Pulled out from a burned house, or a big rock? Your friend isn't by chance named Arthur is he???

Curious of the pre fabricated hole in the grip as it has a ring around it. ( Ned Please refrain )

The grip silver or Pewter is very ornate and appears to be hand chased.
Where did you find it Ivan?

Regards Larry

On the 7th pic from the bottom. There is a something between the hilt guard and the twin fullers. I try to zoom in but I'm on my laptop. Is it a makers mark ,Mfg plug? When I zoom in it gets distorted and blurry.
Just have to say,You did a fantastic job on the restore on that.
I will add that it does have all those figures mentioned in the "Lady of the Lake" In the book "Poetical works of Walter Scott"

Thanks Phil
It is a maker mark and it is similar to Samuel Hoppe with beehive mark

I edited my post above to add what info I found on that configuration of the Hilt. Not sure if it will come in handy.

Now to research what you have mentioned Ivan
