Large Scottish-style Dirk by J. Nowill & Sons, Sheffield England

I originally had this posted (2 weeks ago) under "Production Fixed Blades," but maybe I should have put it here to begin with. In any case, more about the knife:

~ Blade length is 11"; overall length is 17"
~ High carbon blade (determined from research)
~ Stag horn handle with crown on pommel
~ Comes with leather sheath (unknown of it's original to the knife, but it fits very snug)
~ Handle, pommel, and guard are all rock solid - no wiggle or looseness at all

I'm getting conflicting information on this one -- the research I did indicated that this was an 1860's piece, but others have indicated that is more likely a much more modern piece -- so I am selling it "as is."

I am asking: $250.00 o.b.o.

Price includes USPS Priority Insured shipping within the States; payment by Paypal or USPS Money Order.

If interested, please email or PM me through the Forum.

Thanks for looking, now here are some sub-standard cell phone pix:
















Here's a better pic of the patina on the blade:




And here are some better pics outside (as you can see, blade still has a lot or "mirror" to it, even with the patina):

This subsection is described as "A subsection for the classic styles from years past." Says nothing about folders or fixed. Plus, I've seen plenty of fixed blades posted here, so I'm not sure where you're coming from... Nevertheless, I moved it and am closing this thread.
