For a similar example, see plate 30.K on page 242 of "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann. Straight tapered single edged steel blade with partially scalloped spine and two partial fullers on each side. Grip of carved wood featuring classic Celtic knot designs with a silver pommel cap and capstan as wall as a silver mount at the guard. Complete with its original brown leather sheath with tooled cross-hatching typically seen on 18th century sheaths and scabbards. Silver mounts with pierced heart designs on top three mounts. Hanging chain is present on back of sheath. Complete with silver mounted fork and small knife (both contemporary replacements by Glenn McLain, Master Scottish blade maker). CONDITION: Dirk blade polished bright with some freckling and frosting. Grip excellent showing little or no wear. Sheath very good with some minor crazing to surface, throat mount possibly a later replacement. A very nice Scottish dirk, seldom found with a sheath in this condition.
