Hi Ger, almost everything was said, I just have to add that I love this kind of daggers, complete with knot, hangers and with some interesting aspects - for example distributor mark on blade, early pommel...

Thanks for showing this gorgeous example, which we do not see very often in this condition!

Nice Ger! I like these earlier 3rd type Alcoso's...last question to ask is, is this an "Eisenkopf"? This term was phrased long ago on GDC and denotes the early 3rd type Alcoso's that have the heavy iron or steel based fittings that are magnetic.. they always have the earlier hand enhanced pommels, but there were light metal fitted versions that had this nice pommel too... SO GET OUT A MAGNET AND SEE WHAT YOU HAVE! Kevin.

Hi Kevin, ive seen the Alcoso ad which had iron fittings on the WAF forum made by Stingray, some 2 months ago.
Found that a very interesting ad, so i did some research aabout the Alcoso iron fittings, pity i missed that Ivan Alcoso dagger, was interesting.
Funny thing is that ive found a SMF Slant with iron crossguard to
This is also a heavy dagger so i did the iron test already, but its has brass fittings and a tapered tang.
