Description from the seller
Title: Rare Late Medieval / Renaissance Dagger (Swiss Basel Dagger type) from around the 1400s-1600s.
It was purchased by me.
Description: For sale is an authentic historical dagger in Basel style. The object displays the absolutely typical crescent-shaped guard as well as the characteristic pommel.
Condition & Important Note: The piece has been cleaned and conserved.
Please note:
The grip/handle has become extremely thin over the centuries (material loss down to only a few millimeters) and the pommel is highly fragile. The item is explicitly sold as a highly delicate archaeological collectible and must be handled with extreme care.
Provenance: I bought it in 2015 from an elderly gentleman. It sat in his display case, from a private household.
Catawiki disclaimer: This object has been dated based on style by the seller. No further tests, such as an analysis of metals (XRF test), have been conducted to verify the piece’s integrity.
