mmerc20 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Does anyone have any idea what this is? The blade is completely unmarked and doesn't even have a fuller. When I first saw pictures of it, I thought it was a cut-down German dress sword, but that is not the case. The blade appears to be stainless, measures about 375mm and after having it hand, I thought it was some sort of replica, but both the scabbard and frog are rather old. The guard and lionhead are not cast terribly well and the grip is plastic. There is nothing on the tang. I just don't know what to think about it. Anyone seen one before?

Rich Yankowski Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Have not seen one like this,but I don't believe that the frog was designed for the scabbard as the hole is rather large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 From the pictures I would say that this is possibly a Midshipman's Dirk. Many Navies used the Lion's head pommel and I think it could be French or German. The frog is probably nothing to do with this - looks to be for a bayonet.
