Not sure if this counts, but one dealer had the exact match to this described as a naval dirk. I do mean exact as well, so it is an actual pattern whether commercial or military. I am dubious about...

I have used a small bore (air) rifle cleaning rod on a couple of scabbards, and one of those "air duster" cans, as used on electrical equipment to blow loose stuff out.

They had both, the tang finished with a tommy bar screw cap so the guards were interchangeable. Why the crossguard for field use, because in modern warfare (post 1890's) an officer had more than...

David R. I remember the previous thread on your axe - amazing that you still used it and it took an edge after a century or two! I guess that confirms the steel bit insert with the rest iron. Is it...

In the hand it looks to be of the wrap around type with an inserted edge, but pitting hides a lot of this sort of detail. What I can say is that it takes a very sharp edge and was my favourite camp...

I am inclined to go with it being a heavily reshaped Philippine piece, not just from the squared tang but also the smooth finish. I am thinking a very damaged piece made useful again.
