Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:225406 |
This is ONE of one of the largest collections of rare Chinese daggers ever assembled. I'm honored to be allowed the opportunity to offer these to you for sale. All daggers are original, untouched and are as found, no fixing, no polishing, no repairing.
This particular piece, one of several hundred different pieces that will be listed in the upcoming months is a RARE dagger, probably one of one or one of very few in private hands. It is a silver handled with a... brass Foo Dog wrap. It also has a presentation on the blade. So lets start with the bright, clean 9 1/4" blade with 3 characters on it. The blade is beautiful, one of the best I've ever seen. The guard is perfect, screwed on with the original screw set in place. The Foo Dog is two piece as is the silver handle and you can see the seam. I'm relatively certain that it is a low grade silver. Nice detail, nice handle. The scabbard is beautiful, highly polished, few dents at the drag, but the collar is great. Overall, this is one of the rarest daggers you can possibly own, is guaranteed original and please see my others.
