For Sale: Arms & Armor 1580 Parrying Dagger. Catalog number 046Here is the info on the blade from Arms and Armor:
The pommel and crossguard of this dagger are made using molds taken from the original. They illustrate all of the key features of a parrying dagger. The ring attached to the quillon block, on this example with decorative file work, was to protect the knuckles. This was enhanced by the quillons which curved forward and up from the plane of the blade. This additional protection was needed due to the parrying dagger often being held as far forward as possible and thus a good target for your opponent.
Original: Circa 1580 N. European, Private Collection, USA
Overall length: 17.5"; Blade length: 12"
I purchased this several years ago. Blade is perfect, never used, original edge. Comes with sheath. Asking $185.00 with free shipping within the Continental US.
