Its the belt loop on the sheath that makes me wonder about dating it as most earlier ones were still using a frog for suspension. It could also be that the original owner had it especially made like this. I would like to see better photos of the engraving on the silver inserts in the hilt before making a comment on where it could be from. Like everyone else I was also watching this with great interest. Congratulation to you if you did win this beautiful dagger and my condolences if you did not.
