			Certainly a composite piece. A mixed bag of parts, aspects not found in the period these dagger types were relevant, potentially some Victorian era parts, but I suspect most parts are later. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Can I ask how you came to be in possession of these newly presented items? They all for the most past seem to have questionable aspects about them, even if some parts maybe period.  |

			Another example of remarkably 'well researched' creativity in this ubiquitous array, most curious.

			Threads closed in view of author's attempt to enquire on countless pieces still in active commercial venues.
