A Napoleonic Period British Naval Dirk with 8 1/2" engraved blade and original brass scabbard circa 1800-1820.

The turned bone handle has an old repair and terminates in a brass pommel with an engraved five point star. The blade may have been made from an earlier (late 17th or early 18th century) sword or dagger and has a lovely patina with little or no pitting.
