PRICE MADE KNIVES FROM 1856 TO 1889. THIS ONE IS STAMPED M. PRICE. S.F. CAL., PLEASE SEE PICS. I'VE JUST PICKED THIS KNIFE UP AT A COUNTRY ESTATE AUCTION HERE AND MAINE AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROVENANCE ON THE KNIFE. IT WAS SOLD WITH A FEW OTHER KNIVES AND TOOLS THAT I PICKED UP THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE KNIFE BLADE IS ORIGINAL AND DON'T KNOW IF THE HANDLE IS ORIGINAL EITHER, I'M LETTING YOU KNIFE COLLECTORS DECIDE IT'S FATE! THE KNIFE ( DAGGER) IS DOUBLE EDGED AND MEASURES 12 3/8's INCHES OVERALL WITH A 8 INCH STOUT DAGGER BLADE. THE RICASSO IS STAMPED M. PRICE S.F. CAL.. THE BLADE IS DARK AND SHOWS OLD PITTING OVER IT'S SURFACE. THE GUARD IS MADE OF AN OVAL PIECE OF BRASS, IT SHOWS OLD TARNISH AND SMALL DINGS. THE HANDLE IS MADE OF SILVER OR SILVER PLATE--- IT'S A CUTLERY STYLE HANDLE AND IS FAIRLY LARGE. IT SHOWS SOME OLD TARNISH, SCRATCHES AND TINY DINGS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE HANDLE IS ORIGINAL OR ADDED LATER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN ON THE KNIFE A LONG TIME AND IS VERY SOLID. ACCORDING TO THE ESTATE AUCTIONEER, THE KNIFE AND TOOLS HAVE BEEN STORED IN A BARN FOR MANY YEARS. THERE IS NO SHEATH WITH THE KNIFE, ONLY WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICS. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE ADDITIONAL PICS OR WANTS ANY OTHER INFORMATION OR MEASUREMENTS, I'LL GLADLY PROVIDE THEM. I'M STARTING THE KNIFE AT $139.95 WITH NO RESERVE--- IF THE KNIFE IS AN ORIGINAL, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET A BARGAIN ! THE KNIFE COMES WITH A 3 DAY INSPECTION ALSO.
