For sale is an all original non-restored example of a WW1 era dress dirk was would have been worn by Officers of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada with their full dress uniform. While I'm fairly knowledgeable in this general area, I'm no expert, so please make efforts to research more about the dirks worn by the Seaforth Highlanders in Britain and Canada.The approximately 30 cm long double fuller blade features an upper faceted edge set into a carved wood basket weave pommel deco...rated with brass studs. A feather bonnet in front of crossed basket hilt swords is carved in relief into the face of the hilt while a thistle motif decorates the back side of the handle. Decorate brass-mounts embossed with thistles are set into the sides of the handle. Ornate thistle motif brass fixtures secure a piece of faceted glass against orange foil. The scabbard consists of a leather sheath with brass mounts that have been decorated with applied thistle motifs, the most ornate of which features the figure of St Andrew set within a thistle wreath. No marker markings that I can note. Blade has a few light surface scratches and some very subtle blemishes.That said this is clearly an authentic piece. Knife and fork in excellent order with the exception of the spring-loaded retention tab on the fork which does not appear to work. The faceted glass on the end of the eating-knife pommel is darker in colouration than the others and as such may have been replaced at some point in the rather long history of this fabulous dirk. Other than that I believe the images speak for themselves. I'm willing to send more if you have specific questions. Total length when sheathed 47 cm or about 18 1/2". Weighs 695 grams. This is dirk comes from what was an almost complete full dress uniform grouping which is also for sale at this time on ebay so please check my other auctions as many hard to find related items of regalia are also available.
