Lot 212:
A museum piece of an early Spanish Navy M1861 boarding knife. Double-edged Kriss type blade, initial production was by private makers, apparently in Seville. These specimens usually lack any markings. Toled began manufacturing this type of dagger in 1867. MArkings stamped on the hilt: 77 and 157. Only 3000 were produced. The recurved blade design was inspired by the knife used in colonies such as the Philippines. Extremely rare.
Dimensions: L: 14 1/2 in., (36.8 cm.)
Condition: Good, the blade is slightly pitted, no scabbard.
