This is my first post here so I apologise if I get some of the lingo wrong. Iv recently inherited a knife from my grandfather and just out of curiosity I googled the markings and it appears to me to be a model 1849 and scabbard in pretty good condition, I’m a carpenter by trade and and familiar with genuine old wood and metal work and this looks legit to me, I’m not sure if there are very early reproductions of these but it certainly looks feels and smells really old. It’s in good condition barring the ageing as it’s been sat In a loft boxed up for atleast the last 50 years.
I was hoping somebody a bit more clued up on it may be able to verify it’s genuine and give me a rough estimated value, Iv read about the interesting history and origins of the model 1849 but it holds no sentimental value to me it’s deserves to be somewhere it could be admired for its history.
Many thanks in advance and look forward to hearing about it.
Jake
