Thanks Battery, she puts a smile on my face every time I see her (for some perverse reason I attribute the feminine to most of my favourite items) :-)
I have attached a couple of more images. I make a guess at an origin around 1875, but I defer to the experts' opinion. It did come with a scabbard, with remnants of quill-work. I will post images of it in the next few days (separately packed due to house move).
Thanks again,
Russel
