| omschrijving | Curved bladed dirk- the hilt of the dirk consists of a gilt pommel and back-piece and a chain guard. The lower part of the black ebony/ivory grip is diamond knurled. The very curved steel blade is damascened in blue and gold- and is flat backed. The black leather scabbard has two gilt lockets and rings and chape- which are decorated with threads. It is difficult to date and determine the country of origin of this dirk- it is possible however that it is either Dutch or Danish and probably dates from after 1820.
