Interesting Dagger
Happy New Year All:
I received this dagger as my Christmas gift. It is 16.5 inches overall, with a 10.5 inch blade. Also, the blade is 1.25 inches wide.
It has a nice weight to it, probably 1.5 pounds. Hilt is brass ribbed and what appears to be a "GR" cypher on the pommel.
Could this be a cut down British bandsman sword, pre-pattern? My gut tells me that the age is around early 19th century.
Thanks for any comments.
