J. Pillon, 31 Gerrard St. London. The blade is in very good condition, 80-90% of its etching, some erosion and pitting at the last half inch where the blade meets the hilt. The grip is nicely carved with blackened wood with silver pins and a large cut gemstone is set at the top of the grip. A large orange colored faceted stone is set at the top of the grip, The carving is excellent, the mounts are very fancy and shows dragons, boars, and the same slogans that are on the blades. The knife and fork set are carved and gem mounted to match. The scabbard is good to very good with just some normal cracking and aging. The mounts are not hallmarked but could possibly be silver. We would date the dagger t the 19th century. From the Bernard Braverman Estate. Est: $1,500 - $3,000
