Thank you for your comments Ian. Couple more pictures attached showing some screws and the bottom of the scabbard. I was unsure about this dagger and the etching of the manufacturer logo, plus a couple of other things, but I need to be certain before I pass this up. Regards, Clive.Attached Files

It's a Spanish copy IMO. The quality is OK for a repro I suppose, but not close to an original. The red flags on these is usually the poor detail to the maker mark, the chain links aren't soldered closed, and the casting detail of the sunwheels is poor. The hilt is normally aluminum on these, and the period aluminum models have exceptional detail.
