but the Naval issue knife posted by laEspadaAncha is very similar to a dagger I posted a while ago and would very much like his input on it. Would the dagger , link below, be a Naval issue laEspadaAncha ? Thanks for any info

Not at all my friend, I'm as eagre as you to hear more about the naval attribution of these small stag hilted knives. I think one of my local dealers has one and I've ignored it for..... well, frankly months! So if it's more than just a 'vintage' sheath knife, I'll try and find it again!

As for my Spanish dagger....... I'm realy struggling to see them as dirks... But they are rather nice, and laEspadaAncha, Your one is a beauty!

I'm also interested in the naval provenance, if possible (the book showing the original piece as Spanish, that is). I know in the past they have been mistaken as plug bayonets. The small grip is possible, as midshipmen in the naval forces were as young as 10. There is a major lack of information on Spanish naval weapons as far as I know.
