This attractive dirk is photographed and described in figure 62 on page 40 of "Silver Mounted Swords, The Lattimer Family Collection" by Daniel D. Hartzler. The straight tapered 5" diamond section blade is unmarked. The S-shaped guard is of silver, followed by a rocker-panel engraved silver ferrule below the tapered one-piece ivory handle with gadrooning on the front face. The tang retains a small silver washer. Complete with its original Moroccan red leather sheath with silver throat mount with stud and silver tip. CONDITION: Blade retains much of original polish, minor bend at tip. Silver retains a dark unpolished patina. Grip retains a pleasing honey patina. Scabbard is very good with a few minor scuffs. A very good published dirk from the well known Lattimer Collection of silver-mounted edged weapons. DMG
