This long thrusting dagger would have been on the belt of a British naval officer and used as a hand-to-hand weapon during a boarding party or for personal defense. A brass mounted hilt with gilt remnants and bone grip top a straight tapering fullered blade. This is a rare early and elegant piece of naval weaponry. A naval dirk like this one is in the collection of Britain's National Maritime Museum Greenwich, London. |
