... which, I have to admit, have seen better days - still, I like them, especially the grips.
The first one having the hooves on the grip, has (better had) an etched blade. I tried to capture some of this, which I guess is now only barely viewable.
On the topside of the blade one can read "???? Hoflieferant Potsdam" which means "? company-name, purveyor to the court".
As the scabbard has an acorn instead of hooves, I assume the scabbard is not matching this dagger - especially considering the fact that the dagger is too long and already has created a hole on the end of the scabbard.
The second one having the dogs on the grip does not have an etched blade, at least not that I can find it.
Here, the scabbard seems to match the dagger ...
Well, I'll let the pictures do the talking - looking forward to your comments!
