Hi Rod, no worries, a useful thread.

That price was insane.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for the support
I know it doesn’t really matter now but could the scabbard have been made from different metal from the dagger, which may be why it hasn’t lost it finish so easily. Some kind of transitional thing.

Rod

Hi Rod, these daggers were gilded as new.

The problem is, most of them have got "cleaned and polished" post war with Brasso type abrasive metal polish or the like and the original finish is now long gone.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade
Sorry to keep this thread going
But may I ask another question that has probably been covered somewhere.
Is it illegal to bring daggers into this country. In other words would customs seize a dagger bought from abroad.
Cheers
Rod

It is perfectly legal to import these.

Only gravity knives are not allowed.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks again Ade
It was just that I read somewhere about some law about them being classed as thrusting weapons, no matter how old or valuable they are.
But thanks for clearing that up for me.
Regards
Rod
