Hmmm, thats almost like a remounted lance head?
I'd much rather have yours than the one in the auction

Thank you Gene, I was extremely happy to have found this dagger when I did but it is always nice when you can add another example to your collection. This other old warrior needed some TLC to bring it back to life but it would have been well worth the effort.

Robert.
